- B1 : 4
- C2 : 1
- D1 : 3
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
For a particle in SHM with amplitude , the total energy is where is the force constant.
-
At displacement , the potential energy is
-
The kinetic energy at displacement is
-
Given that the displacement is half of amplitude:
-
Substitute into potential energy:
-
Substitute into kinetic energy:
-
Therefore, the ratio of potential energy to kinetic energy is
-
So the correct option is D.
