Conservation of energy in simple harmonic motion

[mhenriksen93]

I was just sitting here, writing a major project about harmonic oscillations. A part of it was to explain the transformation of Energy in a harmonic motion. I stumbled upon this, and it was really helpful! Thanks a lot from Denmark!

This is a very nice example of conservation of energy but i dont understand the part where Ue the elastic energy got very high while Ug energy went negative??

I actually use this in an accounting class. Makes a nice basis for a presentation of how changes over time are reflected in financial statements. Students often benefit from a visual presentation, and this does the trick.

WHAT´S THE LETTER "e" IN THE VIDEO

[PelletierPhysics]

@VICTOR14MANUEL E is for total mechanical energy: the sum of all energies.

[PelletierPhysics]

@VICTOR14MANUEL Lowercase e is for "elastic" (elastic potential energy).

this is extremely helpful for my class! thank u!

Very nice

I hit "Like", but it could be twice as informative just naming the variables.
