    A particle is executing linear simple harmonic motion. The fraction of the total energy that is potential, when its displacement is \[\frac{1}{4}\] of the  amplitude is

    A)  1/16                                     

    B)  1/8

    C)  1/2                                       

    D)  ¼

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     For SHM, potential energy\[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{y}^{2}}\]and total energy\[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\] Therefore, fraction of potential energy \[=\frac{\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{y}^{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{{{\left( \frac{1}{4}a \right)}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}\]    \[\left[ As\,y=\frac{1}{4}a \right]\] \[=\frac{1}{16}\]
