Questions  

For a particle executing S.H.M. the displacement x is given by x=Acosωt. Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (P.E.) as a function of time t and displacement x 

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

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Potential energy is minimum (in this case zero) at mean position (x = 0) and maximum at extreme position (x=±A).At time t = 0, x = A, hence potential should be maximum. Therefore graph I is correct. Further in graph III. Potential energy is minimum at x = 0, hence this is also correct.
