For a particle executing (SHM) the displacement (x) is given by `(x = A) cos (omega) t`. Identify the graph which represents the variation of potential energy (PE) as a function of time (t) and displacement (x).A. `I, III`B. `II, IV`C. `II, III`D. `I, IV` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Potential energy is minimum (in this case zero) at mean position `(x = 0)` and maximum at extreme position `(x = +-A)`. At time `t = 0, x= A` Hence, PE should be maximum. Therefore, graph is correct. Further is graph III. PE is minimum at ` x= 0`. Hence this is also correct. |
