Which of the following statements is/are true for a simple harmonic oscillator?

A

Force acting is directly proportional to displacement from the mean position and opposite to it

B

Motion is periodic

C

Acceleration of the oscillator is constant

D

The velocity is periodic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D
The simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion or oscillation motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the direction opposite to that of displacement.
Every simple harmonic motion is a periodic motion.
The acceleration of oscillator is different at different places, hence option C is false.
The velocity of oscillator becomes two times zero during one periodic time and two times maximum. Hence is its frequency is 2. So it its periodic in nature.
