Question

The total energy of particle, executing simple harmonic motion is

  • ∝ x

  • ∝ x2

  • independent of x

  • ∝ x1/2

Answer

C.

independent of x

In simple harmonic motion when a particle is displaced to a position from its mean position, then its kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy and vice-versa. Hence, total energy of a particle remains constant or the total energy in simple harmonic motion does not depend on displacement x.
