A body is executing simple harmonic motion with frequency 'n', the frequency of its potential energy is :
- 4n
- n
- 2n
- 3n
Answer
(3) 2n
Solution
Displacement: x = A t, where = 2 n
U = 12kx2 = 12kA2 2 t
= 14kA2(1 - 2 t)
⇒ U varies with angular frequency 2
∴ frequency of potential energy = 2n
Answer: (3)
