Simple harmonic motion
Question

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

Moderate
Solution

potential energy of simple harmonic oscillator is PE=122y2,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
