A particle of mass executes simple harmonic motion with amplitude a and frequency The average kinetic energy during its motion from the position of equilibrium to the end is
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Given
A particle performs SHM with:
- mass
- amplitude
- frequency
We need the average kinetic energy while the particle moves from the mean position to the extreme position.
- Write kinetic energy in SHM
For SHM,
If displacement is , then speed is
So kinetic energy at displacement is
- Choose a convenient time expression
From mean position to extreme position, the motion takes time
Let us take
Then
Hence kinetic energy is
- Average kinetic energy over this interval
Average value over time interval to is
Substitute :
Now use
because the average of over a quarter cycle is .
Thus,
Now put :
- Match with options
So the correct option is B.
