A body executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude \(A\). At what displacement, from the mean position, is the potential energy of the body one fourth of its total energy?
- A \(\frac{A}{4}\)
- B \(\frac{A}{2}\)
- C \(\frac{3 A}{4}\)
- D \(3 A\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{A}{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
According to question, In simple harmonic motion, potential energy \(=\frac{1}{4}\) (total energy) \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 y^2=\frac{1}{4}\left[\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 A^2\right] \Rightarrow y^2=\frac{A^2}{4} \Rightarrow y=\frac{A}{2}\)
