JEE Main 2023 — Oscillations Question with Solution

JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2)

Question

A particle executes SHM of amplitude A. The distance from the mean position when its kinetic energy becomes equal to its potential energy is:

Choose an option

Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
A12A

Step-by-step explanation

The potential energy is given by 

U=mω2x22

The kinetic energy is given by K=mω2(A2-x2)2.

Using the condition that K=U,

12mω2A2-x2=12mω2x2

⇒x=A2
