A particle is vibrating in a simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4 cm . At what displacement from the equilibrium position, is its energy half potential and half kineticA. 1 cmB. `sqrt(2)` cmC. 3 cmD. `2sqrt(2)` cm

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`U=K " or "U=(E)/(2)`
`therefore (1)/(2)Kx^(2)=(1)/(2)((1)/(2)KA^(2))`
i.e., at `x=+-(A)/(sqrt(2)),U=K`
and this situation will occur for four times in one complete period.
