In simple harmonic motion, acceleration is directly proportional to
A. Displacement but opposite in direction
B. Time
C. Square of displacement
D. Velocity
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
In SHM, a = -ω²x, acceleration ∝ -displacement. Minus sign indicates direction towards mean position (restoring). Characteristic of SHM. Pendulum and spring-mass system exhibit SHM for small displacements.
