- Bx = A
- Cx =
- Dx = 0
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
- In simple harmonic motion, the total energy is constant:
where is the amplitude.
- At a displacement from the mean position, the potential energy is
- The kinetic energy at that position is
- For kinetic energy and potential energy to be equal:
So,
- Cancel from both sides:
- Hence, the correct option is:
This corresponds to Option C.
