A block of mass 0.1 kg is connected to an elastic spring of spring constant 640 Nm⁻¹ and oscillates in a damping medium of damping constant 10⁻² kg s⁻¹ . The system dissipates its energy gradually. The time taken for its mechanical energy of vibration to drop to half of its initial value, is closest to :

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. So, the frequency of vibration of the 8 kg block is :

The ratio of maximum acceleration to maximum velocity in a simple harmonic motion is 10 s⁻¹ . At, t = 0 the displacement is 5 m. What is the maximum acceleration ? The initial phase is $${\pi \over 4}$$.

A particle is executing simple harmonic motion with a time period T. At time t = 0, it is at its position of equilibrium. The kinetic energy – time graph of the particle will look like:
