The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the potential energy (U) and kinetic energy (K) of a particle in Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) at the mean position. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding SHM Energy Components**: - In SHM, the total mechanical energy (E) of the system is conserved and is the sum of kinetic energy (K) and potential energy (U). - At the mean position (equilibrium position), the displacement (x) is zero. 2. **Potential Energy at Mean Position**: - The potential energy (U) at the mean position is given as \( U = 0 \) because potential energy in SHM is calculated using the formula \( U = \frac{1}{2} k x^2 \) and at the mean position, \( x = 0 \). - Therefore, \( U_{\text{mean}} = E_1 = 0 \). 3. **Kinetic Energy at Mean Position**: - The total energy (E) in SHM is given by \( E = K + U \). - Since \( U = 0 \) at the mean position, the total energy is entirely kinetic. - Thus, \( K = E \) at the mean position. 4. **Maximum Kinetic Energy**: - The maximum kinetic energy (K_max) occurs at the mean position and is equal to the total energy of the system. - Therefore, \( K = E_2 \) at the mean position. 5. **Conclusion**: - Given that \( E_1 = 0 \) (potential energy at mean position) and \( E_2 = K_{\text{max}} \), we can conclude that the kinetic energy at the mean position is equal to the total energy of the system. ### Final Answer: - At the mean position, the potential energy \( E_1 = 0 \) and the kinetic energy \( E_2 \) is equal to the total energy of the system. ---
