    A particle is vibrating in a simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4 cm. At what displacement from the equilibrium position, its energy half potential and half kinetic?

    A)  \[2\sqrt{2}\,cm\]

    B)  \[2\,cm\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Suppose at point\[x\] \[KE=PE\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{A}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{x}^{2}}\] \[2{{x}^{2}}={{A}^{2}}\] \[x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{4}{\sqrt{2}}\] \[x=2\sqrt{2}cm\]
