Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion
 

Energy in Simple Harmonic Motion problem 18


An object of mass oscillates with simple harmonic motion. The variation with time of the displacement of the object is shown in the figure below.




  • Use the figure above to determine the amplitude and the period of the oscillations.


  • Use the figure above and your answers in (a) to calculate the kinetic energy of the object at time .
