2.3 Restoring Force and Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
Restoring Force: The restoring force in SHM is the force
that brings the object back to its equilibrium position. It is proportional to
the displacement and acts in the opposite direction. Kinetic and Potential Energy: - **Kinetic Energy (K.E.):** The kinetic
energy of an object in SHM at a displacement x is given by: K.E. = 1/2 mω²(A² - x²) - **Potential Energy (P.E.):** The
potential energy stored in the system at displacement x is given by: P.E. = 1/2 kx² - **Total Mechanical Energy:** The total
energy in SHM is constant and is the sum of kinetic and potential energy: E = 1/2 kA² Example Problem:
A block of mass 2 kg is attached to a
spring with a spring constant of 100 N/m. If the block is displaced 0.2 m from
the equilibrium position, find the total mechanical energy of the system. Solution:
The total mechanical energy is given by: E = 1/2 kA² = 2 J |
