A 1 kg mass oscillates with SHM of amplitude 0.05 m and frequency 2 Hz. What is the total mechanical energy?

Correct answer: B. 0.158 J

  • A. 0.079 J
  • B. 0.158 J
  • C. 0.316 J
  • D. 0.474 J

Explanation

Total energy E = ½ k A². Angular frequency ω = 2πf = 2π × 2 = 4π rad/s. k = mω² = 1 × (4π)² ≈ 157.91 N/m. E = ½ × 157.91 × (0.05)² ≈ 0.158 J
