For a simple pendulum, a graph is plotted between its kinetic energy $$(KE)$$ and potential energy $$(PE)$$ against its displacement $$d.$$ Which one of the following represents these correctly?
$$(graphs$$ $$are$$ $$schematic$$ $$and$$ $$not$$ $$drawn$$ $$to$$ $$scale)$$

A particle moves with simple harmonic motion in a straight line. In first $$\tau s,$$ after starting from rest it travels a distance $$a,$$ and in next $$\tau s$$ it travels $$2a,$$ in same direction, then:

The amplitude of a damped oscillator decreases to $$0.9$$ times its original magnitude in $$5s$$. In another $$10s$$ it will decrease to $$\alpha $$ times its original magnitude, where $$\alpha $$ equals

An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass $$M.$$ The piston and the cylinder have equal cross sectional area $$A$$. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is $${V_0}$$ and its pressure is $${P_0}.$$ The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released,. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frquency
