Answer» Average total energy per cycle is equal to its maximum kinetic energy. average kinetic energy per cycle is equal to half of its maximum kinetic energy. mean velocity over a complete cycle is equal to `(2)/(pi)` TIMES of its maximum velocity root mean square velocity is `(1)/(sqrt(2))` times of its maximum velocity. Solution :Total energy (mechanical energy) of a body performing simple harmonic motion `E= (1)/(2) ka^(2)` where A= amplitude and maximum kinetic energy obtained at mean position due to maximum kinetic energy. Maximum kinetic energy, `K_("MAX")= (1)/(2)m(v_("max"))^(2)` `=(1)/(2)m A^(2) omega^(2)` `=(1)/(2) kA^(2) ""[therefore m omega^(2) = k]` Option A is correct. Average kinetic energy of a body performing SHM at any time `lt K gt = (0+ K_("max"))/(2)` `= ((1)/(2)KA^(2))/(2)= (1)/(4) KA^(2)` and half value of maximum kinetic energy `= (K_("max"))/(2)` `=((1)/(2)KA^(2))/(2)` `=(1)/(4)KA^(2)` hence, option B is correct. Average velocity in one cycle `lt v gt = (0+v_("max"))/(2)= v(A omega^(2))/(2)` Maximum velocity, `v_("max")= A omega` `therefore (2)/(pi)" times "v_("max")= (A omega xx pi)/(2)` hence, option C is incorrect. Root mean square speed `v_("max")= (v_("max"))/(sqrt(2))` and hence, option D is correct.
