Question

A body executing SHM at a displacement ‘x’ its PE is E1 , at a displacement ‘Y’ its PE is E2. The P.E at a displacement (x + y) is

Easy
Solution

\large P.E\, = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{y^2}\, \Rightarrow \,P.E\, \propto {y^2}\, \Rightarrow \,y\, = \,k\sqrt E

\large x\, = \,k\sqrt {{E_1}} ;\,y\, = \,k\sqrt {{E_2}} \, \Rightarrow \,x + y\, = \,k\sqrt E

\large \,k\sqrt {{E_1}} + \,k\sqrt {{E_2}} \, = \,k\sqrt E \, = \,\sqrt E \, = \,\sqrt {{E_1}} \, + \,\sqrt {{E_2}}
