AIPMT PRELIMS 2007 Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

The particle executing simple harmonic motion has a kinetic energy 2 K cos t ω . The maximum 0 values of the potential energy and the total energy are respectively

A

K0/2 and K0

B

K0 and 2K0

C

K0 and K0

D

0 and 2K0.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In simple harmonic motion, the total energy is conserved and is the sum of potential and kinetic energy. The given equation relates kinetic energy to the maximum kinetic energy.
