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.

The displacement y of a particle executing periodic motion is given by $y = 4{\cos ^2}(t/2)\sin (1000t)$. This expression may be considered to be a result of the superposition of ........... independent harmonic motions
The total energy of a particle executing $S.H.M.$ is $80 \,J$. What is the potential energy when the particle is at a distance of $\frac{3}{4}$ of amplitude from the mean position..... $J$
A simple pendulum consisting of a light inextensible string of length $\ell$ attached to a heavy small bob of mass $m$ is at rest. The bob is imparted a horizontal impulsive force which gives it a speed of $\sqrt{4 g \ell}$. The speed of the bob at its highest point is ( $g$ is the accelaration due to gravity)
A block of mass $m$ is attached to two springs of spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ as shown in figure. The block is displaced by $x$ towards right and released. The velocity of the block when it is at $x/2$ will be
