At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinetic and what fraction potential when the displacement is one third the amplitude

Respuesta :

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)[/tex]

also the PE is given as function of position as

[tex]PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2[/tex]

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

[tex]\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2[/tex]

[tex]A^2 - x^2 = x^2[/tex]

[tex]2x^2 = A^2[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}[/tex]

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

[tex]KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)[/tex]

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

[tex]f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}[/tex]

[tex]f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}[/tex]

[tex]f_k = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

[tex]f_{PE} = 1 - f_k[/tex]

[tex]f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9[/tex]

The fraction of kinetic energy and  fraction of Kinetic energy and Potential energy  is mathematically given as

a)  [tex]x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

b)  F=8/9

c) Fp=1/9

Kinetic energy and Potential energy

Generally the equation for the Kinetic energy and Potential energy as is mathematically given as

KE = 1/2mw^2(A^2 - x^2)

and

PE = 1/2mw^2x^2

With

K.E and P.E equal we have[tex]x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

b) for when  x = A/3

Generally the equation for the Kinetic energy is mathematically given as

KE = 1/2mw^2(A^2 - x^2)

herefore, the fraction of  Kinetic energy  is

[tex]f = \frac{KE}{TE}[/tex]

[tex]f=\frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}[/tex]

f = 8/9

Therefore,  fraction of PE is

Fp=1-f

Fp=1-(8/9)

Fp=1/9
