Question

In an $SHM$, $x$ is the displacement and $a$ is the acceleration at time $t$. The plot of a against $x$ for one complete oscillation will be

• A. a straight line
• B. a circle
• C. an ellipse
• D. a sinusoidal curve

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

In $SHM$, acceleration, $a=-{\omega }^{2}x$
$\therefore$ The graph between $a$ and $x$ is a straight line.
