A mass is suspended separately by two different springs in successive order then time periods is and respectively. If it is connected by both spring as shown in figure then time period is , the correct relation is

Two bar magnets having the same geometry with magnetic moments M and 2M are firstly placed in such a way that their similar poles are same side then their time period of oscillation is T1. Now the polarity of one of the magnets is reversed the time period of oscillation is T2, then
T1 < T2
T1 = T2
T1 > T2
T2 = ∞
A particle of mass m oscillates with simple harmonic motion between points x1 and x2, the equilibrium position being O. Its potential energy is plotted. It will be as given below in the graph:




Value of a is zero, whatever may be the value of 'v'
When 'v' is zero, a is zero
When 'v' is maximum, a is zero
When 'v' is maximum, a is maximum

In an oscillating spring mass system, a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency ω(t) and average amplitude A(t) of the system change with time t. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?
