Q131 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 1) · Physics

A body starting at t=0 from origin and oscillates simple harmonically with a period of 4 s. After what time will its kinetic energy be 75% of its total energy

  • A
    12 s
  • Correct answer
    B
    13 s
  • C
    14 s
  • D
    1 s

Solution

As we know, KE=12mv2=12mω2A2-x2

and TE=12mω2A2

As per question,

KE=75100TE⇒12mω2A2-x2=12mω2A2⇒x=±A2

From mean position, time taken to reach half of the amplitude will be, T12=412=13 s

 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
