Question

A particle performs S.H.M. of amplitude A with angular frequency ω along a straight line. When it is at a distance A from mean positive, its kinetic energy gets increased by an amout mω2A2 due to an impulsive force. What will be its new amplitude ?

Options

A.A
B.A
C.√2 A
D.√5 A

Solution

at x = A
KE = mω2 mω2A2.
KE is increased by an amount of mω2A2.Let now
amplitude be A1 then total Ke.
KE1 = mω2A2 + mω2A2
= mω2A2 mω2 ⇒ A1 = √2 A
