In a simple harmonic oscillation, what fraction of total mechanical energy is in the form of kinetic energy, when the particle is midway between mean and extreme position.

Options

  1. A12\dfrac{1}{2}
  2. B34\dfrac{3}{4}
  3. C13\dfrac{1}{3}
  4. D14\dfrac{1}{4}

Correct answer

B. 34\dfrac{3}{4}

Step-by-step solution

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

=12mω2(A2−A24)= \dfrac{1}{2}m{\omega}^{2}\left({A}^{2} - \dfrac{{A}^{2}}{4}\right)

=12mω2(3A24)= \dfrac{1}{2}m{\omega}^{2}\left(\dfrac{3{A}^{2}}{4}\right)

K=34(12mω2A2)K = \dfrac{3}{4}\left(\dfrac{1}{2}m{\omega}^{2}{A}^{2}\right)
