Physics of Sound

  1. There is a body having mass m and performing S.H.M. with amplitude a. There is a restoring force F = –kx. The total energy of body depends upon​​​​
    1. k, x
    2. k, a
    3. ​k, a, x
    4. k, a, v
Correct Option: B

Total Energy of body performing simple harmonic motion =
1
2 a2 =
1
ka2
22

where k = mω2
T.E. = K.E. + P.E. =
1
m(a2 - x2) ω2 +
1
2 x2
22

Hence energy depends upon amplitude and k (spring constant).
