Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
For a system in simple harmonic motion, at which point is its kinetic energy a maximum, and what is the corresponding potential energy at that same instant?
A
At the equilibrium position; the potential energy is zero at this point as all energy is kinetic.
B
At the maximum displacement; the potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy at this point.
C
At any point in the cycle; the kinetic energy remains constant throughout simple harmonic motion.
D
At one-quarter of the cycle; the potential energy is half of its maximum value at this point.
