Answer:
Explanation:
Capacitor of 0.75μF, charged to 70V and connect in series with 55Ω and 140 Ω to discharge.
Energy dissipates in 55Ω resistor is given by V²/R
Since the 55ohms and 140ohms l discharge the capacitor fully, the voltage will be zero volts and this voltage will be shared by the resistor in ratio.
So for 55ohms, using voltage divider rule
V=R1/(R1+R2) ×Vt
V=55/(55+140) ×70
V=19.74Volts is across the 55ohms resistor.
Then, energy loss will be
E=V²/R
E=19.74²/55
E=7.09J
7.09J of heat is dissipated by the 55ohms resistor
As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position
so we will have as a function of position given as

also the PE is given as function of position as

now it is given that
KE = PE
now we will have




so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same
Part b)
KE of SHO at x = A/3
we can use the formula

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy



now since total energy is sum of KE and PE
so fraction of PE at the same position will be
