Energy In Shm
Total mechanical energy in SHM (amplitude A) is:
Select the correct option:
Solution
(1/2)kA2
In SHM, the total energy E is the sum of kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U): E=K+U=21mv2+21kx2 For any displacement x: E=21mω2(A2−x2)+21kx2=21k(A2−x2)+21kx2 E=21kA2 This total energy remains constant throughout the cycle, oscillating between purely kinetic (at equilibrium, x=0) and purely potential (at extremes, x=±A).
