An object of mass m is attached to a spring having force constant k.
The object oscillates with simple harmonic motion.
Its maximum displacement from equilibrium is A.
What is the total mechanical energy of the spring/mass system when
The object is located at
(a)x = +A
(b)x = –A
(c)x = 0
Also, when the object is located at x = +A/2,
(d)what is the potential energy of the system?
(e)what is the kinetic energy of the system?
