(a) When the mass is at the position x = + A, all the energy is stored as potential energy in the spring U = 12kA 2 . The kinetic energy is equal to zero because the velocity of the mass is zero. (b) As the mass moves toward x = −A, the mass crosses the position x = 0.

An oscillation may create a wave, which is a disturbance that propagates from where it was created. The simplest type of oscillations and waves are related to systems that can be described by Hooke’s law.

Elastic potential energy stored in the deformation of a system can be described by Hooke’s law as U = (1/2)kx^2. Energy in the simple harmonic oscillator is shared between elastic potential energy and kinetic energy, with the total being constant.
