A body is executing simple harmonic motion with frequency ‘n’, the frequency of its potential energy is :
Answer
Correct Answer : b ) 2n
Explanation :A particle oscillating back and forth about the origin of an x-axis between certain limits +A and –A. This oscillatory motion is said to be simple harmonic if the displacement x of the particle from the origin varies with time as:
x (t) = A cos (ω t)
where A and ω are amplitude and angular frequency respectively.
The potential energy of a particle executing simple harmonic motion (SHM) is given by-
\(U(x)=m ω^2x^2\)
\(U(t)=m ω^2A^2 cos^2(ωt)\)
\(U(t)\)=\({1\over2}m ω^2A^2 {({{1+cos^2ωt}\over 2})}\)
ωPE= 2ω
ω is the angular frequency of SHM, x is the displacement as a function of time. If the particle is executing SHM with frequency n, then the frequency of its potential energy will be 2n.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
