Kinetic Energy

The document discusses the kinetic energy, potential energy, and total mechanical energy of a system undergoing simple harmonic motion. The kinetic energy is defined as half the mass times the velocity squared, while the potential energy is defined as half the spring constant times the displacement squared. The total mechanical energy of the system undergoing simple harmonic motion is conserved and equal to the sum of the kinetic and potential energies.

The kinetic energy K of the system at time t is

and the potential energy is

The total mechanical energy of the system therefore has the constant value
