Asimple harmonic oscillator of amplitude a has a total energy e.

a) determine the kinetic energy when the position is one-third the amplitude. (use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) k =
b) determine the potential energy when the position is one-third the amplitude. (use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)

a)

b)

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mechanical energy states that total mechanical energy remains constant during oscillation. Mechanical energy is defined as the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy:

a) The position is one-third the amplitude. So, we have . Replacing and solving for K

b) The potential energy is defined as:

Replacing:

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
