Given information

Given:
 
The following information is supplied to us:
 
The kinetic and potential energies are equal, and the total energy is divided in half.
 
Formula used:
The equation for the kinetic energy of an item at the same distance is:
 
The potential energy is determined using the formula:
 
Where,

is the mass

is the natural frequency

=is the displacement of the particle

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

When a system performs a simple harmonic motion, its total energy remains constant. This is due to the restoring force's conservative character. During a basic harmonic motion, however, the object's kinetic and potential energy change continually.

The object is briefly at rest when it is at one of the extremes (displacement = amplitude), and the kinetic energy is zero, while the potential energy is highest (equal to the total energy). The potential energy becomes zero at the mean location, whereas the kinetic energy achieves its greatest value. The values of potential and kinetic energy become equal at some point between the mean position and amplitude.
