Question

For a simple harmonic motion, at which point the Kinetic energy and potential energy are equal?​

Answer 1

Answer:

In simple harmonic motion, there is a continuous interchange of kinetic energy and potential energy. At maximum displacement from the equilibrium point, potential energy is a maximum while kinetic energy is zero. At the equilibrium point the potential energy is zero and the kinetic energy is a maximum.

Answer 2

The transformation of energy in SHM for an object attached to a spring on a frictionless surface.

(a) When the mass is at the position x=+A

All the energy is stored as potential energy in the spring U=12kA2 U = 1 2 k A 2 .

The kinetic energy is equal to zero because the velocity of the mass is zero.
