Question

Displacement between maximum potential energy position and maximum kinetic energy postion for a particle executing simple harmonic motion is

• A. $\pm \, a/ 2$
• B. #NAME?
• C. $\pm$ a
• D. -1

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\pm$ a

Answer 2

For a simple harmonic motion between A and B, with O as the mean position, maximum kinetic energy of the particle executing SHM will be at O and maximum potential energy will be at A and B.

$\therefore$ Displacement between maximum potential energy and maximum kinetic energy is $\pm a$
