Definition: Total Energy (in SHM)

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of a particle performing SHM is called total energy.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Kinetic Energy (K) in SHM

The energy possessed by a particle performing SHM due to its motion, which is maximum at the mean position and minimum (zero) at the extreme position, is called kinetic energy.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Definition: Potential Energy (U) in SHM

The energy possessed by a particle performing SHM due to its displacement from the mean position, which is maximum at the extreme position and minimum at the mean position, is called potential energy.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Kinetic Energy

K = \[\frac {1}{2}\]mv2 = \[\frac {1}{2}\]mω2 A2 sin2(ωt + Φ) = \[\frac {1}{2}\]KA2 sin2 (ωt + Φ) = \[\frac {1}{2}\]k(A2 - x2)

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Potential Energy

U = \[\frac {1}{2}\]kx2 = \[\frac {1}{2}\]kA2 cos2 (ωt + Φ)

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Total Energy

E = U + K = \[\frac {1}{2}\]kA2 = \[\frac {1}{2}\]mω2 A2

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Key Points: Energy of a Particle Performing SHM

  • The total mechanical energy of a harmonic oscillation is independent of time, as expected for motion under any conservative force.
  • Both kinetic and potential energies peak twice during each period of SHM.
  • Period of kinetic energy and potential energy = \[\frac {T}{2}\].
