A body executes simple harmonic motion the potential energy $$($$$$PE$$$$)$$. The kinetic energy $$($$$$KE$$$$)$$ and total energy $$($$$$TE$$$$)$$ are measured as a function of displacement x. Which of the following statement is true?

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

At $$x=0$$, $$KE$$ is maximum and $$PE$$ is minimum∴$$KE$$$$=$$ $$K=12m$$ω$$2(A2-x2)$$ here m $$=$$ mass of oscillator, $$w=$$ angular frequency,$$A=$$ amplitude, $$x=$$ displacement of oscillatorWhen $$x=0$$, $$K=12m$$ω$$2A2$$ $$=$$ $$(maximum)And$$ at $$x=0$$,  $$PE$$$$=12m$$ω$$2x2$$  $$=0$$ $$(minimum)So$$ $$KE$$ is maximum at $$x=0$$.
