P.E is maximum at extreme position. In simple harmonic motion, the formula for kinetic energy and potential energy are as below: K.E=1/2mv2(a2-x2) and U=1/2mv2x2Step1: Formula of kinetic and potential energy for simple harmonic motionIn simple harmonic motion, the formula for kinetic energy and potential energy are as below:K.E=1/2mv2(a2-x2) and U= 1/2mω2x2 Step2: Find values at the mean positionwhere m is mass, a is the amplitude of the particle, and x is the distance from the mean position.At the mean position, x will be zero. =>K= 1/2mω2a2 and U=0.So, the value of kinetic energy will be maximum and potential energy is zero. That is the minimum value.
