JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 27th July Morning Shift - No. 13)

A particle starts executing simple harmonic motion (SHM) of amplitude 'a' and total energy E. At any instant, its kinetic energy is $${{3E} \over 4}$$ then its displacement 'y' is given by :
y = a
$$y = {a \over {\sqrt 2 }}$$
$$y = {{a\sqrt 3 } \over 2}$$
$$y = {a \over 2}$$

Explanation

$$E = {1 \over 2}K{a^2}$$

$${{3E} \over 4} = {1 \over 2}K({a^2} - {y^2})$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${3 \over 4} \times {1 \over 2}K{a^2} = {1 \over 2}K({a^2} - {y^2})$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${y^2} = {a^2} - {{3{a^2}} \over 4}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$y = {a \over 2}$$
