An object attached to a light spring oscillates in S.H.M. on horizontal smooth surface. The ratio of maximum P.E. to maximum K.E. is :

A

`1//2`

B

2

C

1

D

`sqrt(3)//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Max. P.E. = Max. K.E. `=(1)/(2)m omega^(2)r^(2)`
`:. ((P.E.)_("max"))/((K.E.)_("max"))=1`
`:.` Correct choice is ( c ).

An object of mass M is attached to a vertical spring and in the equilibrium position the extension of the spring is x. The mass is raised upwards, till the extension of the spring is reduced to zero and then mass is released. The maximum extension of the spring in this case is

An ideal spring with spring-constants bung from the celling and a block of mass M is attached to its lower end. The mass is released with the spring initially unstretched. Then the maximum extension in the spring is:

Two rectangular blocks A and B of masses 2 kg and 3 gk respectively are connected by a spring of spring constant 10.8Nm^(-1) and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block A was given an initial velocity of 0.15 ms^(-1) in the direction shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring during the motion is
