A body executing SHM at a displacement 'x' it’s PE is E1,at a displacement ‘y’ its PE is E2. The PE at a displacement (x+y) is

a
E=E1−E2
b
E=E1+E2
c
E=E1+E2
d
E=E1-E2

detailed solution

Correct option is B

potential energy of simple harmonic oscillator is PE=12mω2y2,here m=mass of oscillator,ω=angular velocity,y=displacement ⇒PE ∝ y2,here m, w are taken constant ⇒y=kPE   Let say PE=E Given  at displacement x,PE=E1⇒  x=KE1 at displacement y,PE=E2⇒y=KE2 at displacement x+y=KE ⇒KE1+KE2=KE ⇒E=E1+E2
