Question
Find the equation of motion of a particle moving along the $x$ axis if the potential energy is $V=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$. (This is a simple harmonic oscillator.)
Step 1
The velocity is the derivative of the position with respect to time, which can be written as $\frac{dx}{dt}$ or $\dot{x}$. Show more…

Find the equation of motion of a particle moving along the x axis if the potential energy is V = 1/2 kx2. (This is a simple harmonic oscillator
The potential energy function for a particle executing linear simple harmonic motion is given by $V(x)=$ $k x^{2} / 2$, where $k$ is the force constant of the oscillator. For $k=0.5 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-1}$ the graph of $V(x)$ versus $x$ is shown in Fig. 6.12. Show that a particle of total energy 1 J moving under this potential must "turn back' when it reaches $x=\pm 2 \mathrm{~m}$.
A particle of mass $m$ has potential energy given by $U=a x^{2}$ where $a$ is a constant and $x$ is the particle's position. Find an expression for the frequency of simple harmonic oscillations this particle undergoes.
