Physics Question on Oscillations
A loaded vertical spring executes S.H.M. with a time period of 4 sec. The difference between the kinetic energy and potential energy of this system varies with a period of
A
2 sec
B
1 sec
C
8 sec
D
4 sec
Answer
2 sec
Explanation
Solution
Time period = 4 sec. In one simple harmonic oscillation, the same kinetic and potential energies are repeated two times.
So the difference will be 2 seconds.
