Oscillating energies

Page history last edited by Joe Redish 9 years, 8 months ago

The graphs below represent a computer simulation of a mass on a spring. The kinetic, potential, and total energies are plotted in the bottom graph, in addition to the position and velocity of the oscillator (upper two graphs). The potential and kinetic energy curves oscillate, but not about zero. They also seem to oscillate twice as fast as the position and velocity curves. Is this correct? Explain.
