A$\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{x^2}$
a We know that potential energy is given by,
$PE =\frac{1}{2} kx ^2$
and we know, $\omega^2=\frac{k}{m}$
or, $k =\omega^2 m$
Using value of $k$ in equation $(1)$,
$PE =\frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x ^2$ is our required answer.

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected by a spring of spring constant $k$ rest on a frictionless surface. If the masses are pulled apart and let go, the time period of oscillation is
A block of rectangular size of mass $m$ and area of cross-section $A$, floats in a liquid of density $\rho$. If we give a small vertical displacement from equilibrium, it undergoes $S H M$ with time period $T$, then
The velocity vector $v$ and displacement vector $x$ of a particle executing SHM are related as $\frac{v d v}{d x}=-\omega^2 x$ with the initial condition $v=v_0$ at $x=0$. The velocity $v$, when displacement is $x$, is
A point mass oscillates along the x-axis according to the law $x=x_0cos$$\left( {\omega t - \frac{\pi }{4}} \right)$ If the acceleration of the particle is written as $a=Acos$$\left( {\omega t + \delta } \right)$ then
A particle executing a simple harmonic motion of period $2\ s$ . When it is at its extreme displacement from its mean position, it receives an additional energy equal to what it had in its mean position. Due to this , in its subsequent motion,
The variation of displacement with time of a particle executing free simple harmonic motion is shown in the figure. The potential energy ${U}({x})$ versus time $({t})$ plot of the particle is correctly shown in figure:
