Question

In SHM, which of the following quantities does not vary as per nature of the sine curve?

• A. acceleration
• B. time period
• C. displacement
• D. velocity

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

time period

$x=a\sin \omega t$.
Hence on differentiating, we get $v=a\omega \cos \omega t$ and $a=-a{\omega }^2\sin \omega t$
We can hence see that $x,v$ and $a$ are all dependent on sine curve, but time is not.
