Question

service expression for the kinetic energy, potential energy and the total energy of a simple harmonic oscillator. show graphically how the potential energy U, kinetic energy K and the total energy E of a simple harmonic oscillator vary with displacement from equilibrium position​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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.
