Question

The total mechanical energy of a simple harmonic oscillating system is

Answer 1

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a simple harmonic oscillating system is Constant

Explanation:

During the movement of an object in simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy is constant

The total mechanical energy is  given by $E_{Total} = KE +PE = \frac{1}{2} kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

By the conservation of energy principle the energy in the simple harmonic motion transforms between kinetic and potential energy while maintaining a constant sum
