Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A mass of 2 kg is undergoing SHM with an amplitude of 0.5 m and a spring constant of 200 N/m. Compute the total energy and express the kinetic energy when the displacement is 0.25 m.
💡 Hint: Calculate total energy first, then use P.E. to find K.E.
If the maximum speed of a mass in SHM is 4 m/s and its mass is 1 kg, find the maximum kinetic energy.
💡 Hint: K.E. depends on mass and the speed at the mean position.
