The acceleration of a particle is a = - ...

The acceleration of a particle is `a = - 100x + 50`. It is released from `x = 2`. Here, `a` and `x` are in SI units

A

periodic, oscillatory but not SHM.

B

periodic but not oscillatory

C

oscillatory but not periodic.

D

simple harmonic.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The equation`a=-100x+50(a=-kx` form)
Itself shows that the particle performs SHM. Hence (d).
