$Kinctic\, energy + potential\, energy = total\, energy$

When kinetic energy is maximum, potential energy
is zero and vice versa.
$Maximum\, potential\, energy = total\, energy.$

$0+K_{0}=K_{0}(\mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E} .+\mathrm{P.E.}=\text { total energy })$

    A particle of mass $m$ is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant $k$, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time $t=0$ with an initial velocity $u_0$. When the speed of the particle is $0.5 u_0$, it collies elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision :

    $(A)$ the speed of the particle when it returns to its equilibrium position is $u_0$.

    $(B)$ the time at which the particle passes through the equilibrium position for the first time is $t=\pi \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.

    $(C)$ the time at which the maximum compression of the spring occurs is $t =\frac{4 \pi}{3} \sqrt{\frac{ m }{ k }}$.
