Total mechanical energy in SHM is , constant throughout the motion. At any position : and . Important ratios: at , ; at , and . Both KE and PE oscillate with frequency (twice the oscillation frequency). The time-averaged values are . Energy is proportional to : doubling the amplitude quadruples the energy.
