Simple harmonic motion

Question

A particle of mass 0.8 kg is executing simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.0 metre and periodic time 11/7 sec. The kinetic energy (in J) of the particle at the moment when it displacement is 0.6 metre is ________. 

Moderate
Solution

We know that at a displacement y from mean position particle's velocity is given as

v=ωA2y2

 or  v=2πTA2y2

=2×3.14(11/7)(1.0)2(0.6)2=3.2m/s

Kinetic energy at this displacement is given by

K=12mv2=12×0.8×(3.2)2=4.1J
