JEE Main & Advanced Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Question Bank Energy of Simple Harmonic Motion

  • question_answer
    A particle executes simple harmonic motion with a frequency \[f\]. The frequency with which its kinetic energy oscillates is  [IIT JEE 1973, 87; Manipal MEE 1995; MP PET 1997; DCE 1997; DCE 1999; UPSEAT 2000; RPET 2002; RPMT 2004; BHU 2005]

    A)            \[f/2\]                                     

    B)            \[f\]

    C)            \[2f\]                                       

    D)            \[4f\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               Kinetic energy \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}m{{a}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}\omega \,t\] \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}(1+\cos 2\omega \,t)\] hence kinetic energy varies periodically with double the frequency of S.H.M. i.e. \[2\omega \].
