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
    all of the above.

$A$ mass of $2.0\, kg$ is placed on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown in the figure. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released,the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $200\, N/m$. What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion so that the mass gets detached from the pan? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ mass $m = 8\,kg$ is attached to a spring as shown in the figure and held in position so that the spring remains unstretched. The spring constant is $k = 200\,N/m$. The mass $m$ is then released and begins to undergo small oscillations. The maximum velocity of the mass will be ..... $m/s$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

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. The amplitude of oscillations is

$A$ weightless spring of length $60\, cm$ and force constant $200\, N/m$ is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. $A$ mass of $0.25\, kg$ is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass is

When a mass $m$ is attached to a spring,it normally extends by $0.2\, m$. If the mass $m$ is given a slight additional extension and released,what will be its time period?
