Homework Statement
In simple harmonic motion (especially with a spring), does the kinetic energy equal the potential energy at the equilibrium point? In other words, does K = U?
If not, is there a time when the kinetic energy does equal potential energy in simple harmonic motion.
Homework Equations
Total energy = K + U = 1/2 KA^2, where A is the amplitude of the displacement function.
