 In a S.H.M. when the displacement is one half the amplitude, what fraction of the total energy is kinetic ?

a
zero
b
1 /4
c
1 /2
d
3 /4

detailed solution

Correct option is D

In case of S.H.M.  K.E.=12mω2a2−x2 ∴  K.E. =12mω2a2−(a/2)2 ,( when x=a/2) =3412mω2a2 total energy =12mω2a2 raction of total energy = K.E.  Total energy =3412mω2a212mωa2=34
