A body is executing S.H.M. At a displacement x its potential energy is 9 J and at a displacement y its potential energy is 16 J. The potential energy at displacement x+y is

  1. A 25 J
  2. B 5 J
  3. C 49 J
  4. D 7 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 49 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider an oscillating spring-mass system. Potential energy at displacement x will be written as, 12kx2. Now, 12kx2=9   ...Eq1 and 12ky2=16   ...Eq2 Then, potential energy at the displacement is given by,…
