The total energy of simple harmonic motion |
Satisfying the principle of conservation of energy requires that the total energy of simple harmonic motion remains the same. For any SHM the force-displacement graph is a straight line through the origin. Potential energy as a consequence of position is given by.... ... At once ......... PE + KE = 1/2kA2 ... which is constant |
The total energy is constant, equal to the maximum PE and/or the maximum KE. |
