Physics Question on Energy in simple harmonic motion
The amplitude of a particle executing SHM is 3cm The displacement at which its kinetic energy will be 25% more than the potential energy is:_______ cm
Answer
The correct answer is 2.
KE=PE+4PE
KE=45PE
21mω2(A2−x2)=45×21mω2x2
[v=ωA2−x2]
A2−x2=45x2
49x2=A2
x=32A
∴x=32×3cm
x=2cm
