For simple pendulum performing the simple harmonic motion, displacement, y = A sin ωt v = d y d t = ωA cos ωt = ω A 2 - y 2 ⇒K.E . = 1 2 mv 2 , This represents a downward parabola, Y = ± A , K.E. = 1 2 ω 2 m A 2 - A 2 = 0 . P.E. = 1 2 mω 2 y 2 . This represents an upward parabola. On plotting graphs of potential energy & kinetic energy.
