Match List - I (x-y graphs) with List - II (Situations). Choose the correct answer.
Pick the matching item from Column II for each row.
Column I

D. -
Column II
- I. Total mechanical energy is conserved
- II. Bob of a pendulum is oscillating under negligible air friction
- III. Restoring force of a spring
- IV. Bob of a pendulum is oscillating along with air friction
Correct answer: A → IV, B → III, C → II, D → I
Graph (a) shows decreasing amplitude, i.e. damped oscillation: a pendulum oscillating with air friction (a-iv). Graph (b) is a straight line with negative slope, i.e. restoring force of a spring $F=-kx$ (b-iii). Graph (c) shows constant amplitude, i.e. undamped oscillation: pendulum with negligible air friction (c-ii). Graph (d) shows KE and PE curves whose sum is constant: total mechanical energy is conserved (d-i). -

The restoring force of a spring with a block attached to the free end of the spring is represented byRestoring force of a spring is $F=-kx$, a straight line through the origin with negative slope.

Identify the function which represents a non periodic motion.Periodic motion is represented by sine and cosine (harmonic) functions and their combinations. $e^{-\omega t}$ decreases monotonically and never repeats, so it is non-periodic.
