A particle is executing simple harmonic motion (SHM)( SHM ) of amplitude A,A, along the xx -axis, about x=0.x = 0 . When its potential Energy \left(PE\right)equalkineticenergy(KE),equal kinetic energy \left(KE\right), the position of the particle will be:

Options

  1. AAA
  2. BA2\dfrac{A}{2}
  3. CA22\dfrac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}
  4. DA2\dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

Correct answer

D. A2\dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

Step-by-step solution

{PE=12kx2 and KE=12K(A2−x2)\begin{cases}PE = \dfrac{1}{2}k{x}^{2} & \text{ and } KE = \dfrac{1}{2}K\left({A}^{2} - {x}^{2}\right)\end{cases}

As given in question

KE=PEKE = PE

⇒12K(A2−x2)=12Kx2⇒ \dfrac{1}{2}K\left({A}^{2} - {x}^{2}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}K{x}^{2}

⇒2x2=A2⇒ 2{x}^{2} = {A}^{2}

⇒x=±A2⇒ x = \pm \dfrac{A}{\sqrt{2}}
