A particle is executing SHMSHM. At a displacement y1{y_1} its potential energy is U1{U_1} and at a displacement y2{y_2} its potential energy is U2{U_2}. The potential energy of the particle at displacement (y1+y2)\left( {{y_1} + {y_2}} \right) is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
U1+U2+2U1U2{U_1} + {U_2} + 2\sqrt {{U_1}{U_2}}
Option D (U1+U2+2U1U2{U_1} + {U_2} + 2\sqrt {{U_1}{U_2}}) is correct because the potential energy at the combined displacement is the square of the sum of the individual displacements, related to their respective potential energies.
