Question 6: Derive equations for the K.E and P.E of a body a body of mass m executing S.H.M.

Answer

P.E of mass m executing S.M.H

Consider a body of mass ‘m’ attached with a spring of spring constant ‘k’ as shown in the figure. When the body is at rest at point ‘O’, no force acts on it. Fi = 0.
Let the spring is compressed to point ‘A’ by a force Ff such that OA = x0. Then Ff = kx0.

Now the average force is,

Average work done, W = Fd, is given by

This work is stored in the spring as potential energy. Therefore,

At any point, however,

 

K.E of mass m executing S.H.M

Similarly, the velocity in case of SHM at any displacement is,

Therefore,

Now , putting the above value,
