In SHM restoring force is \(F=-k x\), where \(k\) is force constant, \(x\) is displacement and \(A\) is amplitude of motion, then total energy depends upon

  1. A \(k, A\) and \(M\)
  2. B \(k, x, M\)
  3. C \(k, A\)
  4. D \(k, x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(k, A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In SHM, the total energy
Or
\(\begin{array}{l}=\text { potential energy }+\text { kinetic energy } \\E=U+K\end{array}\)
\(=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2}\left(A^{2}-x^{2}\right) \)
\(=\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} A^{2}=\frac{1}{2} k A^{2} \)
\(\text { where } k=\text { force constant }=m \omega^{2}\)
Thus, total energy depends on \(k\) and \(A\).
