In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?

Two identical point masses $P$ and $Q$, suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$, respectively, oscillate vertically. If their maximum speeds are the same, the ratio ( $A Q / A_\rho$ ) of the amplitude $A Q$ of mass $Q$ to the amplitude $A_\rho$ of mass $P$ is

A particle executing simple harmonic motion with amplitude A has the same potential and kinetic energies at the displacement

The two-dimensional motion of a particle, described by $$\vec{r}=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}) A \cos \omega t$$ is a/an:

A. parabolic path

B. elliptical path

C. periodic motion

D. simple harmonic motion
