Questions and Answers

What does the variable 'A' represent in the given simple harmonic motion equations?

  • The angular frequency of the motion
  • The amplitude of the oscillation (correct)
  • The instantaneous displacement of the object
  • The phase constant of the motion

    • Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) in simple harmonic motion?

  • When KE is at its maximum, PE is also at its maximum.
  • When KE is at its maximum, PE is at its minimum. (correct)
  • KE and PE always remain constant.
  • When KE is at its minimum, PE is also at its minimum.

    • Based on the given equations, how does the potential energy (PE) vary with time?

  • PE varies proportionally to the sine squared of time. (correct)
  • PE varies proportionally to the cosine squared of time.
  • PE is constant and does not vary with time.
  • PE varies inversely with time.
