$A$ clock $S$ is based on the oscillations of a spring,and a clock $P$ is based on pendulum motion. Both clocks run at the same rate on Earth. On a planet having the same density as Earth but twice the radius,then:

  • A
    $S$ will run faster than $P$
  • B
    $P$ will run faster than $S$
  • C
    Both run at the same rate
  • D
    Both run at the same rate but different than on Earth

In the figure shown,there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$,but the contact between the block $Q$ and the lower surface is frictionless. Initially,the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$,with the spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to the right and then released. As the spring-block system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$,the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q$. $P$ is more likely to slip at:

Due to some force $F_1$,a body oscillates with a period of $4/5 \, s$,and due to another force $F_2$,it oscillates with a period of $3/5 \, s$. If both forces act simultaneously,the new period will be .... $s$.

Two pendulums with identical bobs and lengths are suspended from a common support such that in the rest position the two bobs are in contact. After being displaced by $5^o$,the bob $A$ is released from rest at $t = 0$. Subsequently,it collides elastically head-on with the other bob $B$. Identify the graph showing the variation in energy of pendulum $A$ with time for $0 \leqslant t \leqslant T$ (where $T$ is the period of either pendulum).

Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along the horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along the vertical axis. The phase space diagram is the $x(t)$ vs. $p(t)$ curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to the right) is positive and downwards (or to the left) is negative.
