In: Physics
particle is in simple harmonic motion along the x axis. The
amplitude of the motion is xm.
When it is at x = x1, its kinetic energy is K = 5 J and its
potential energy (measured with
U = 0 at x = 0) is U = 3 J. When it is at x = −1
2x1, the kinetic and potential energies are:
A. K = 5 J and U = 3J
B. K = 5 J and U = −3J
C. K = 8 J and U = 0
D. K = 0 and U = 8J
E. K = 0 and U = −8J
