Two particles $P$ and $Q$ describe simple harmonic motions of same period,same amplitude,along the same line about the same equilibrium position $O.$ When $P$ and $Q$ are on opposite sides of $O$ at the same distance from $O,$ they have the same speed of $1.2 \, m/s$ in the same direction. When their displacements are the same,they have the same speed of $1.6 \, m/s$ in opposite directions. The maximum velocity in $m/s$ of either particle is

Two particles,$1$ and $2$,each of mass $m$,are connected by a massless spring and are on a horizontal frictionless plane,as shown in the figure. Initially,the two particles,with their center of mass at $x_0$,are oscillating with amplitude $a$ and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus,their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t) = (x_0 + d) + a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t) = (x_0 - d) - a \sin \omega t$,respectively,where $d > 2a$. Particle $3$ of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0 = a \omega / 2$ and undergoes an instantaneous elastic collision with particle $2$ at time $t_0$. Finally,particles $1$ and $2$ acquire a center of mass speed $v_{cm}$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency.
$(1)$ If the collision occurs at time $t_0 = 0$,the value of $v_{cm} / (a \omega)$ will be
$(2)$ If the collision occurs at time $t_0 = \pi / (2 \omega)$,then the value of $4b^2 / a^2$ will be

$A$ body executing simple harmonic motion has a maximum acceleration equal to $24 \, m/s^2$ and a maximum velocity equal to $16 \, m/s$. The amplitude of the simple harmonic motion is:

An oscillator of mass $M$ is at rest in its equilibrium position in a potential $V = \frac{1}{2}k(x - X)^2$. $A$ particle of mass $m$ comes from the right with speed $u$ and collides completely inelastically with $M$ and sticks to it. This process repeats every time the oscillator crosses its equilibrium position. The amplitude of oscillations after $13$ collisions is: $(M = 10, m = 5, u = 1, k = 1)$.

$A$ mass of $5\, {kg}$ is connected to a spring. The potential energy curve of the simple harmonic motion executed by the system is shown in the figure. $A$ simple pendulum of length $4\, {m}$ has the same period of oscillation as the spring system. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet where these experiments are performed? (In ${m} / {s}^{2}$)

$A$ block of mass $(10 \alpha) \text{ g}$,where $\alpha$ is a constant,is moving with velocity $3 \text{ m/s}$ to the right. It collides inelastically with a block on the right of mass $10 \text{ g}$ and sticks to it. The right block is connected to three springs as shown in the figure. The spring constant of each spring is $k = 2 \text{ N/m}$. If the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion is $A = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \text{ m}$,then the value of $\alpha$ is:
