When a particle executes SHM,

Question:

When a particle executes SHM, the nature of graphical representation of velocity as a function of displacement is :

  1. circular

  2. elliptical

  3. parabolic

  4. straight line


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

For a particle executing SHM,

$x=A \sin (\omega t+\phi)$

$V=\omega A \cos (\omega t+\phi)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{v}^{2}}{\omega^{2} \mathrm{~A}^{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{\mathrm{~A}^{2}}=1 \Rightarrow$ equation of ellipse between $v$ and $x$

Hence option (2)
