  1. Question 1

    Q1. A particle executes SHM with amplitude 4 cm. At what displacement is its energy half kinetic and half potential?

    • A) 2 cm
    • B) 2 √2 cm
    • C) 4 / √2 cm
    • D) 1 cm

    Answer: 2 √2 cm

    Explanation: In SHM, energy is half kinetic and half potential when displacement is A / √2. Here, A = 4 cm, so displacement = 4 / √2 = 2 √2 cm.
