Question 26

A calibration test-bed of mass m m\,m undergoes horizontal simple harmonic motion with a frequency fff. The maximum acceleration experienced by the test-bed during its motion is a0a_0a0​.

What is the maximum kinetic energy of the test-bed during this oscillation?

A
ma022π2f2 \frac{m a_0^2}{2\pi^2 f^2} 2π2f2ma02​​
B
ma024π2f2 \frac{m a_0^2}{4\pi^2 f^2} 4π2f2ma02​​
C
ma028π2f2 \frac{m a_0^2}{8\pi^2 f^2} 8π2f2ma02​​
D
ma028f2 \frac{m a_0^2}{8 f^2} 8f2ma02​​
