Statement I: The graph of potential energy and kinetic energy of a particle in SHM with respect to position is a parabola.
Statement II: Potential energy and kinetic energy do not vary linearly with position.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
The variation of both potential energy and kinetic energy is proportional to 
. Therefore, displacement versus PE or KE graph is a parabola (because parabola equation is 
).
