MCQ
The $ P.E.$ of a particle executing $SHM$ at a distance $x$ from its equilibrium position is
  • $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{x^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}({a^2} - {x^2})$
  • D
    Zero

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{x^2}$
a
We know that potential energy is given by,

$PE =\frac{1}{2} kx ^2$

and we know, $\omega^2=\frac{k}{m}$

or, $k =\omega^2 m$

Using value of $k$ in equation $(1)$,

$PE =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x ^2$ is our required answer.
