    The total energy of the body executing simple harmonic motion (SHM) is E. Then the kinetic energy when the displacement is half of the amplitude is

    A) \[\frac{E}{2}\]                                   

    B) \[\frac{E}{4}\]

    C) \[\frac{3E}{4}\]                                

    D) \[\frac{\sqrt{3E}}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Total energy in SHM \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}},\] (where a = amplitude) Kinetic energy \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})\]                                 \[=E-\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{y}^{2}}\] when \[y=\frac{a}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[K=E-\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}\left( \frac{{{a}^{2}}}{4} \right)=E-\frac{E}{4}\]                                 \[K=\frac{3E}{4}\]
