Answer:
The ratio is KE : TM = 0.75
Explanation:
from the question we are told that
The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position
Generally the total mechanical energy of the mass is mathematically represented as
Here k is the spring constant , A is the total displacement of the the mass from maximum compression to maximum extension of the spring
Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as
=>
Here the potential energy of the mass is mathematically represented as
Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is
So
So
=>
=>
So the ratio of is mathematically represented as
=>
