$(a)$ Potential energy is always equal to its $K.E.$

$(b)$ Average potential and kinetic energy over any given time interval are always equal.

$(c)$ Sum of the kinetic and potential energy at any point of time is constant.

$(d)$ Average $K.E.$ in one time period is equal to average potential energy in one time period.
