Question

the average kinetic energy of a simple harmonic oscillator is 2 joule its Total energy is 5J its minimum potential energy is__J
a. 1
b. 1.5
c. 2
d. 3

Answer 1

Hi friend,

We know that ,

Total energy= potential +kinetic energy

5= potential energy+3

Potential energy= 2Joules.

So the option(c) is correct.

Hope this helped you a little !!!!
