    The potential energy of a particle doing S.H.M. is 2.5 J. When displacement is half of amplitude, then the total energy is:

    A)  5 J                         

    B)         10 J                       

    C)  15 J                       

    D)         20 J

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Potential energy of particle is P.E. \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{y}^{2}}=2.5\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{1}{2}m\,{{\omega }^{2}}{{\left( \frac{a}{2} \right)}^{2}}=2.5\]      \[\left( \because \,y=\frac{a}{2} \right)\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\left( \frac{1}{2}m\,{{\omega }^{2}} \right).\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{4}=2.5\]                     ?(1) Hence, total energy is \[E=\frac{1}{2}m\,{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\]                      [From Eq. (1)] \[=2.5\times 4\] \[=10\,J\]
