Questions  

Statement I: In a simple harmonic motion the kinetic and potential energies become equal when the displacement  is 12 times the amplitude. 
Statement II: In SHM kinetic energy is zero when potential energy is maximum.

a
If both statement I and statement II are true and statement II is the correct explanation of statement I.
b
If both statement I and statement II are true but statement II is not the correct explanation of statement I.
c
If statement I is true but statement II is false
d
If both statement I and statement II are false

detailed solution

Correct option is B

From the relation, potential energy of SHM is given as PE = 12mω2y2 and KE = 12mω2(A2-y2)where y is the displacement and A is the amplitufde By the condition KE = PE12mω2(A2-y2) = 12mω2y2⇒mω2y2 = 12mω2A2⇒ y = A2Also we know that total energy is E = KE + PEHence, if PE is maximum then KE will be zero.
