Question

A particle of mass m is released from rest and follows the parabolic path as shown. assuming that the displacement of the mass from the origin is small, which graph correctly depicts the position of the particle as a function of time?

Open in App

Solution

Potential V(x) versus x is parabolic, Simple harmonic motion starts from an extreme position and x versus t should be a cosine curve .
