A particle executes SHM of amplitudeAA. The distance from the mean position when its kinetic energy becomes equal to its potential energy is:

Options

  1. A12A\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}A
  2. B2A2A
  3. C2A\sqrt{2A}
  4. D12A\dfrac{1}{2}A

Correct answer

A. 12A\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}A

Step-by-step solution

The potential energy is given by

U=mω2x22U = \dfrac{m{\omega}^{2}{x}^{2}}{2}

The kinetic energy is given by K=mω2(A2−x2)2K = \dfrac{m{\omega}^{2} ( {A}^{2} - {x}^{2} )}{2}.

Using the condition that K=UK = U,

12mω2(A2−x2)=12mω2x2\dfrac{1}{2}m{\omega}^{2}\left({A}^{2} - {x}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}m{\omega}^{2}{x}^{2}

⇒x=A2⇒ x = \dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}
