Kinetic energy in S.H.M. -

K.E.= \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}\\ \: \: \: = \frac{1}{2}m\left ( A^{2} -x^{2}\right )\omega ^{2}

 

- wherein

K.E.= \frac{1}{2}K\left ( A^{2}-x^{2} \right ) \\K= m\omega ^{2}

U=\frac{1}{2}k x^{2}

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}k (A^{2}-x^{2})

U=k

x=\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

 

 

Potential energy in S.H.M. -

P.E.= \frac{1}{2}Kx^{2}

 

- wherein

Where K= m\omega ^{2}

 

 


Option 1)

\frac{A}{2}

Option 2)

A

Option 3)

\frac{A}{2\sqrt{2}}

Option 4)

\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}
