Plot the graph for the variation of kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy with displacement of particle executing simple harmonic motion.

Solution

Kinetic energy of a particle executing S.H.M is given by, 
straight K equals 1 half mω squared left parenthesis straight A squared minus straight y squared right parenthesis
space space equals 1 half mω squared straight A squared minus 1 half mω squared straight y squared 
Potential energy is given by,

straight U equals 1 half mω squared straight y squared
Therefore the graph for kinetic energy versus displacement is a parabola, which is shown below.

The graph for potential energy versus displacement is also parabola.
Total energy is given by, 
straight E equals straight K plus straight U equals 1 half mω squared straight A squared 
Graph is straight line parallel to displacement axis.
