Maximum potential energy position is  y = \pm a

and maximum kinetic energy position is   y = 0

 

Total energy in S.H.M. -

Total Energy = Kinetic + Potential Energy

- wherein

Total Energy =\frac{1}{2}K\left ( A^{2}-x^{2} \right )+\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}= \frac{1}{2}kA^{2}

Hence total energy in S.H.M. is constant
