  • A
    $\frac{E}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $E$
  • C

$A$ particle oscillates along the $x$-axis according to the law,$x(t) = x_0 \sin^2\left(\frac{t}{2}\right)$,where $x_0 = 1 \text{ m}$. The kinetic energy $(K)$ of the particle as a function of $x$ is correctly represented by the graph.

$A$ particle starts from the mean position and performs $S.H.M.$ with a period of $6 \ s$. At what time is its kinetic energy $50 \%$ of its total energy (in $s$)? $\left(\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$

For a body executing $S.H.M. :$
$(a)$ Potential energy is always equal to its $K.E.$
$(b)$ Average potential and kinetic energy over any given time interval are always equal.
$(c)$ Sum of the kinetic and potential energy at any point of time is constant.
$(d)$ Average $K.E.$ in one time period is equal to average potential energy in one time period.
