Energy in SHM

A particle of mass mm executes simple harmonic motion with amplitude a and frequency v.v. The average kinetic energy during its motion from the position of equilibrium to the end is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. KE=Ecos⁡2ωtKE = E\cos^2\omega t; its time average over a quarter period is E2\frac{E}{2}.
  2. E=12mω2a2=12m(2πv)2a2=2π2ma2v2E = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2a^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(2\pi v)^2a^2 = 2\pi^2ma^2v^2
  3. Average KE =E2=π2ma2v2= \frac{E}{2} = \pi^2ma^2v^2
  4. So the answer is (b) π2ma2v2\pi^2ma^2v^2.
