Compute the position of an oscillating p...

Compute the position of an oscillating particle when its kinetic energy and potential energy are equal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the kinetic energy and potential energy of the oscillating particle are equal,
`1/2 m omega^2 (A^2 - x^2) = 1/2 m omega^2 x^2`
`implies A^2 - x^2 = x^2`
`implies 2x^2 " " = A^2 implies x = pm (A)/(sqrt2)`
