JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Mechanics Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Oscillations

  • question_answer
    A linear harmonic oscillator of force constant \[2\times {{10}^{6}}N/m\] and amplitude 0.01 m has a total mechanical energy of 160 J. Its

    A) potential energy is 160 J

    B) potential energy is 100 J

    C) potential energy is zero

    D) potential energy is 120 J

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Force constant \[k=2\times {{10}^{6}}N/m\] Amplitude \[(x)=0.01m\] Potential Energy \[=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times (2\times {{10}^{6}})\times {{(0.01)}^{2}}=100J\]
