Question 64: Oscillations

Question

In simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of given system is $$E$$. If mass of oscillating particle $$P$$ is doubled then the new energy of the system for same amplitude is:

Accepted Answer

$$\because \quad E=\frac{1}{2} k A^2$$
Here energy depends on $$A$$ and $$k$$ and not on mass.

Answer

$$E / \sqrt{2}$$

Answer

$$2 E$$

Answer

$$E \sqrt{2}$$

Answer

$$E$$
