    A simple harmonic oscillator has amplitude\[A,\]angular velocity\[\omega ,\]and mass\[m\]. Then average energy in one time period will be:

    A)  \[\frac{1}{4}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\]

    D)  0

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Average energy \[=\frac{\int_{0}^{T}{U\,dt}}{\int_{0}^{T}{dt}}=\frac{1}{T}\int_{0}^{T}{U\,dt}\] \[=\frac{1}{2T}\int_{0}^{T}{m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}{{\cos }^{2}}(\omega t+\phi )dt}\] \[=\frac{1}{4}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{A}^{2}}\]
