im not sure is it b?

v=-kx
==> dv/dt = -kdx/dt
==> a=-kv = -k2x

so it is SHM....

Actually this is a jee 07 match

answer given by BT is b,c

i dont think im making any mistake with the question but still

check out jee 07 paper 2 22nd q

YEs Subhash is agree with you.

v = -kx

Therefore it only depends on the starting position.

If the starting position is positive The velocity is opposite to it.
Therefore The particle goes towards origin with decreasing velocity since the velocity is decreasing as x is decresing.

Therfore the direction is not changed and the kinectic energy reduces as time passes

The ans is B,C

Pink pls

i did it like asish why is that wrong?

See what assih did it

v = -kx
dv/dt = -kdx/dt

It is wrong since here kx both are constant with respect to t therefore they cannot be differentiated

dx/dt = -kx

∫1/x dx = -kt

ln x = -kt +c

x = Ae-kt

v = -kAe-kt

so u could see that the sign of v is constant from t = 0 to t =∞ ... it does not change direction .. B

KE = .5mv2 = 0.5mk2A2e-2kt
decreasing with increasing t ..... C

F ≠-kx .. so no SHM
no change in direction of velocity ...
