Two springs with negligible masses and force constants $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to a block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block is at rest at the equilibrium position where both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0$,a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.

  • A
    Period of oscillations for the mass $m$ is $\frac{\pi}{3} \, s.$
  • B
    Maximum velocity of the mass $m$ during its oscillation is $5\, ms^{-1}.$
  • C
    Data are insufficient to determine maximum velocity.
  • D
    $(A)$ and $(B)$ both.

$A$ particle is executing $SHM$ with amplitude $A,$ time period $T,$ maximum acceleration $a_0$ and maximum velocity $v_0.$ It starts from the mean position at $t=0.$ At time $t,$ it has displacement $A/2,$ acceleration $a,$ and velocity $v.$ Then:

$Assertion :$ In simple harmonic motion,the velocity is maximum when the acceleration is minimum.
$Reason :$ Displacement and velocity of $S.H.M.$ differ in phase by $\frac{\pi }{2}$.

The figure shows a graph between velocity $(v)$ and displacement $(x)$ from the mean position of a particle performing $SHM$.

At $t=0$,a particle executing $SHM$ with a time period $3 \ s$ is in phase with another particle executing $SHM$. The time period of the second particle is $T$ (less than $3 \ s$). If they are again in the same phase for the third time after $45 \ s$,then the value of $T$ is .... . (in $s$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves in the potential energy $U(x)$ shown in the figure. The potential energy is given by $U = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ for $x < 0$ and $U = mgx$ for $x > 0$. The period of the motion when the particle has total energy $E$ is
