Question

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear
SHM is given by V(x) =1/2 = kx² where k is the force
constant of the oscillator (Fig.). For k = 0.5 N/m, the graph
of V(x) versus x is shown in the figure. A particle of total
energy E turns back when it reaches x = ±xₘ. If V and K
indicate the PE and KE, respectively of the particle at x =
+xₘ, then which of the following is correct?
(a) V = O, K = E (b) V = E, K = O
(c) V < E, K = O (d) V = O, K < E

Answer:

The potential energy function for a particle executing linear

SHM is given by V(x) =1/2 = kx² where k is the force

constant of the oscillator (Fig.). For k = 0.5 N/m, the graph

of V(x) versus x is shown in the figure. A particle of total

energy E turns back when it reaches x = ±xₘ. If V and K

indicate the PE and KE, respectively of the particle at x =

+xₘ, then which of the following is correct?

(a) V = O, K = E (b) V = E, K = O

(c) V < E, K = O (d) V = O, K < E

here is your answer.

(d) V = O, K < E
