CASE STUDY - ENERGY IN SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION
Both kinetic and potential energies of a particle in SHM vary between zero and their maximum
values. The velocity of a particle executing SHM, is a periodic function of time. It is zero at the
extreme positions of displacement. Therefore, the kinetic energy (K) of such a particle is also a
periodic function of time, being zero when the displacement is maximum and maximum when the
particle is at the mean position. The spring force F = –kx is a conservative force, with associated

potential energy, U = 2 k 𝑥 2 . Thus, the potential energy of a particle executing simple harmonic
motion is also periodic, with period T/2, being zero at the mean position and maximum at the
extreme displacements. The total mechanical energy of a harmonic oscillator is thus independent of
time.
