    A particle of mass m executes simple harmonic motion with amplitude a and frequency v. The average kinetic energy during its motion from the position of equilibrium to the end is               

    A) \[2{{\pi }^{2}}m{{a}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}\]      

    B)        \[{{\pi }^{2}}m{{a}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{4}m{{a}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}\]       

    D)        \[4{{\pi }^{2}}m{{a}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] The kinetic energy of a particle executing S.H.M. is given by \[K=\frac{1}{2}m{{a}^{2}}{{\omega }^{2}}\,{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t\] \[=\,\,<\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t>\,=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}<{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t>\] \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{4}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( \therefore <{{\sin }^{2}}\theta >=\frac{1}{2} \right)\] \[=\frac{1}{4}m{{a}^{2}}\,{{(2\pi v)}^{2}}\,\,\]    \[(\therefore \,\,\omega =2\pi v)\] or   \[<K>\,={{\pi }^{2}}m{{a}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}\]
