The potential energy function for a particle executing linear simple harmonic motion is given by $V(x) = k x^{2} / 2$,where $k$ is the force constant of the oscillator. For $k = 0.5 \; N m^{-1}$,the graph of $V(x)$ versus $x$ is shown in the figure. Show that a particle of total energy $1 \; J$ moving under this potential must 'turn back' when it reaches $x = \pm 2 \; m$.

Position of a $3 \ kg$ mass moving along the $X$-axis is given by $x = 0.3 \cos (\omega t) \ m$. If $K(t)$ denotes the kinetic energy at time $t$,then the value of $\frac{K\left(\frac{\pi}{6 \omega}\right)}{K\left(\frac{\pi}{3 \omega}\right)}$ is

The displacement of a particle executing $SHM$ is given by $y = 5 \sin \left(4t + \frac{\pi}{3}\right)$. If $T$ is the time period and the mass of the particle is $2 \text{ g}$, the kinetic energy of the particle when $t = \frac{T}{4}$ is given by (in $\text{ J}$)

$A$ particle executing a simple harmonic motion of period $2 \ s$. When it is at its extreme displacement from its mean position,it receives an additional energy equal to what it had in its mean position. Due to this,in its subsequent motion,
