Given an one dimensional system with total energy E=px22m+Vx= constant, where px is the x component of the linear momentum and Vx is the potential energy of the system. Show that total time derivative of energy gives us force Fx=-ddxVx. Verify Hooke’s law by choosing potential energy Vx=12kx2.

Consider two simple harmonic motion along x and y axis having same frequencies but different amplitudes as x=Asin (ωt+ϕ) (along x-axis) and y=Bsinωt (along y-axis).Then show that x2A2+y2B2-2xyABcos ϕ=sin2ϕ.

And also discuss the special cases when ϕ=0; ϕ=π; ϕ=π2; ϕ=π2 and A=B; ϕ=π4.
