Q. Displacement between maximum potential energy position and maximum kinetic energy postion for a particle executing simple harmonic motion is

AIPMTAIPMT 2002Oscillations

Solution:

For a simple harmonic motion between $A$ and $B$, with $O$ as the mean position, maximum kinetic energy of the particle executing SHM will be at $O$ and maximum potential energy will be at $A $ and $B$.

$\therefore $ Displacement between maximum potential energy and maximum kinetic energy is $ \pm a$
