Question
A particle is executing linear simple harmonic motion of amplitude A.  What fraction of the total energy is kinetic when the displacement is half the amplitude?
Options:
A .  14
B .  12√2
C .  12
D .  34
Answer: Option D
:
D
Kinetic energy (KE)=12mω2(A2x2)
Potential energy (PE)=12mω2x2
Total energy (E)=12mω2A2Whenx=A2
KE = 12mω2(A2A24)=38mω2A2E=12mω2A2KEE=34
