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

Solution

The kinetic energy of the particle executing simple harmonic motion is given by, 

 
K.E = 1 half m v squared space equals space 1 half m omega squared A squared space cos squared omega t
Potential energy is given by, 
P.E, U = 1 half m omega squared y squared space equals space 1 half m omega squared A squared sin squared omega t space 
Total energy of the particle is given by, 
T.E = K.E + P.E 
     = 1 half m omega squared A squared space left parenthesis cos squared omega t space plus space sin squared omega t right parenthesis thin space 
     =1 half m omega squared A squared
