Question

In the simple harmonic motion of a block on a spring, as the potential energy is increasing, which of the following is true?

a) The kinetic energy and the total energy are both increasing.

b) The kinetic energy is decreasing and the total energy is constant.

c) The kinetic energy is decreasing and the total energy is increasing.

d) The kinetic energy and the total energy are both decreasing.

e) The kinetic energy is increasing and the total energy is constant.

f) The kinetic energy is increasing and the total energy is decreasing.

Explanation / Answer

Answer :B

According to conservation of energy , energy remains cosntant

The kinetic energy decreasing and the total energy remains constant
