Physics of Sound

  1. A particle is executing SHM along a straight line. Its velocities at distances x1 and x2 from the mean position are V1 and V2, respectively. Its time period is​​​
    1. x22 - x12
      1 / 2
      V12   V22
    2. V12 + V22
      1 / 2
      x12 + x22
    3. V12   V22
      1 / 2
      x12 - x22
    4. x12 - x22
      1 / 2
      V12 - V22
Correct Option: A

As we know, for particle undergoing SHM,
V = ω √A² - X²
V12 = ω2 (A2 - x12)
V22 = ω2 (A2 - x22)
Substracting we get,

V12
+ x12 =
V22
+ x22
ω2 ω2

V12 - V22
= x22 - x12
ω2

⇒ w =
V12 - V22
x22 - x12

⇒ T = 2π
x22 - x12
V12 - V22
