For a particle executing SHM the displacement x is given by x = Acosωt. Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (PE) as a function of time t and displacement x -

a
I and III
b
II and IV
c
II and III
d
I and IV

detailed solution

Correct option is A

PE=12mω2A2cos2ωt  at t=0 ,PE is maximum and at t=T4,ωt=π2. Hence graph Irepresents PE.   PE=12mω2x2  at  x=0,PE=0  at x=±A,PE=max. Graph III.
