Question

8.Obtain an expression for potential energy of an oscillating spring.​

Answer 1

Answer:

U=12kx2. In a simple harmonic oscillator, the energy oscillates between kinetic energy of the mass K = 12mv2 and potential energy U = 12kx2 stored in the spring. In the SHM of the mass and spring system, there are no dissipative forces, so the total energy is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy.
