Energy-Time Graphs in SHM

JEE Main asked Energy-Time Graphs in SHM 2 times in 2 of the 108 shifts Lumi analysed, in 2017 and 2021. It belongs to Energy in SHM, in Oscillations (Physics). The longest wait between two years asking it was 4 years, across 2018 and 2019, which Lumi has no shifts for.

Questions on this idea a shift, by year

2017–2026. Asked in 2017 and 2021. Years differ in how many shifts Lumi analysed, so each year is scaled to one shift of 25 Physics questions.
