The potential energy of a particle of mass $0.1\,kg,$ moving along the $x-$axis,is given by $U = 5x(x-4)\,J,$ where $x$ is in metres. It can be concluded that

  • A
    the period of oscillation of the particle is $\pi /5 \,s.$
  • B
    the speed of the particle is maximum at $x = 2 \,m.$
  • C
    the particle executes simple harmonic motion.
  • D

$A$ $1 \, kg$ block attached to a spring vibrates with a frequency of $1 \, Hz$ on a frictionless horizontal table. Two springs identical to the original spring are attached in parallel to an $8 \, kg$ block placed on the same table. The frequency of vibration of the $8 \, kg$ block is ..... $Hz$.

In the given figure,a mass $M$ is attached to a horizontal spring which is fixed on one side to a rigid support. The spring constant of the spring is $k$. The mass oscillates on a frictionless surface with time period $T$ and amplitude $A$. When the mass is at its maximum displacement (extreme position),another mass $m$ is gently placed upon it. The new amplitude of oscillation will be

An assembly of identical spring-mass systems is placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown. Initially,the springs are relaxed. The left mass is displaced to the left while the right mass is displaced to the right and released. The resulting collision is elastic. The time period of the oscillations of the system is:

The effective spring constant of the two-spring system as shown in the figure will be:

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are suspended together by a massless spring of constant $k$. When the masses are in equilibrium,$m_1$ is removed without disturbing the system. Then the angular frequency of oscillation of $m_2$ is
