Problem

A body of mass mm executes simple harmonic motion with amplitude AA and angular frequency ω\omega. (i) Derive an expression for its kinetic energy as a function of linear displacement xx. (ii) Show that the average kinetic energy over one complete oscillation is equal to half of the total mechanical energy of the system. (iii) Using your result in part (ii), find the average power delivered by the restoring force during one time period.
