    At a displacement from the equilibrium position, that is one-half the amplitude of oscillation, what fraction of the total energy of the oscillator is kinetic energy?

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    D)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In SHM, kinetic energy \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})\] where, A is the amplitude of the condition At       \[x=\frac{1}{2}A\] \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}\left[ {{A}^{2}}-{{\left( \frac{A}{2} \right)}^{2}} \right]\] \[=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\] Total energy, \[E=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{K}{E}=\frac{3}{7}\]
