      Question

      Which of the following is not a characteristic of simple

      harmonic motion (SHM)?
      A Restoring force is proportional to displacement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Acceleration is constant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Motion is periodic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Displacement is sinusoidal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      In SHM, the restoring force is F = βˆ’kx, which makes acceleration proportional to and opposite of displacement. Hence, acceleration changes with time and is not constant. Motion is periodic and displacement follows a sine or cosine function. Thus, option B is not a characteristic of SHM.
