Questions  

A body is oscillating simple harmonically with a period T = 2 s. How much time  would it take for its kinetic energy to decrease from Kmax to 75 % of Kmax ?

a
112  s
b
13   s
c
14   s
d
16   s

detailed solution

Correct option is D

K=12mv2=m2A2ω2cos2⁡(ωt) and Kmax=mA2ω22 Given that K=0.75Kmax⇒cos⁡(ωt)=32⇒ωt=π6⇒2πTt=π6. Simplifying this we get t=T12=212=16s
