Question

There is a body having mass $m$ and performing S. H.M. with amplitude $a$. There is a restoring force $F=-Kx,$ where $x$ is the displacement. The total energy of body depends upon:

• A. $K,x$
• B. $K,a$
• C. $K,a,x$
• D. $K,a,v$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $K,a$

The total energy of the body performing SHM is given as:

Total energy $U=\frac{1}{2}K{a}^2$

So, the total energy depends on $k,a$
