STANDARD Physics Energy in SHM Assertion Reason Question
Assertion: In simple harmonic motion, kinetic energy and potential energy become equal when the displacement is (1/√2) times the amplitude. Reason: In simple harmonic motion, kinetic energy is zero when potential energy is maximum.
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Assertion is true but reason is false.
Both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because kinetic and potential energies are equal when displacement is (1/√2) times the amplitude. However, the reason is not the correct explanation as kinetic energy is zero when displacement is maximum, not when potential energy is maximum.
