In simple harmonic motion how many times potential energy is equal to kienetic energy during one complete period?

a
1
b
2
c
8
d
4

detailed solution

Correct option is D

If frequency of oscillation is f, then frequency of potential or kinetic energy is 2f. Now, K=12mω2A2sin2ωt and U=12mω2A2cos2ωtWhen K=U, 12mω2A2sin2ωt=12mω2A2cos2ωt⇒tanωt=±1, ⇒ωt=π4,3π4,5π4,7π4So in a cycle K=U, at t=π4ω,3π4ω,5π4ω,7π4ω.
