JEE MainPhysicsSimple Harmonic MotionMCQ+4 / −1
A particle undergoing simple harmonic motion has time dependent displacement given by x(t) = Asin . The ratio of kinetic to potential energy of this particle at t = 210 s will be:
- A
- B3
- C2
- D1

Correct answer: THE CORRECT RATIO IS \(\DFRAC{1}{3}\), NOT 3., IF THE QUESTION MEANT POTENTIAL TO KINETIC ENERGY, THEN THE ANSWER WOULD BE 3.
-
Given displacement equation
The SHM is:
Comparing with the standard form we get
-
Find displacement at
Since
therefore
-
Use energy relations in SHM
Total energy:
Potential energy at displacement :
Kinetic energy:
Hence,
-
Substitute
So,
-
Check options
The required ratio is
But this value is not present in the options.
-
Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer is B: 3.
However, our derived answer is
So the stored answer appears to be incorrect. It is possible that the question intended the ratio of potential to kinetic energy, for which
