Question

Assertion (A): The displacement time graph for a particle in SHM begins from mean position.
Reason (R): The displacement of a particle in SHM is given by y = A sin $\omega t$

• A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. A is true and R is false
• D. A is false and R is true

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

As displacement time graph is a sine graph. At mean position displacement is zero. Thus $y=Asin\omega t$ satisfied the required conditions.
