Usually you would want to find only the total MECHANICAL energy. This is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Due to conservation of mechanical energy (this assumes there is no friction), you can calculate the kinetic and the potential energy separately at any point of the movement, and then add them up. For example, at the extremes, when the body's instantaneous velocity is zero, you would only need to calculate the potential energy.

Is up and down motion of a leaf in a pond is simple harmonic motion?
IF the leaf is going up and down because a wave with constant wavelength is passing by, THEN the leaf is executing simple harmonic vertical motion.
What is the total distance traveled by a body executing simple harmonic motion in a time equal to its period if its amplitude is A?
A body in simple harmonic motion with amplitude A will move a total distance fo 2A in a time equal to one period.
Is uniform circular motion a simple harmonic motion?
Simple Harmonic motion is circular motion. Look at a graph showing simple harmonic motion... you'll see it.
What is the difference between periodic motion and simple harmonic motion?
Periodic motion refers to any motion that repeats at regular intervals, while simple harmonic motion is a specific type of periodic motion where the restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement from equilibrium. In simple terms, all simple harmonic motion is periodic, but not all periodic motion is simple harmonic.
Is oscillation of compound pendulum or simple pendulum is perfectly simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
What is the displacement of simple harmonic when kinetic and potential energy are equal?
In a simple harmonic oscillator, kinetic energy and potential energy are equal at the amplitude of the motion. At this point, all the energy is in the form of kinetic energy, and the displacement is at its maximum value.
Does a pendulum undergo simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves
What is maximum at mean position for particle performing simple harmonic motion?
Velocity is maximum at mean position for particle performing simple harmonic motion. Another feature that is maximum at this position is kinetic energy.
Why is a pendulum not considered simple harmonic motion?
A pendulum is not considered simple harmonic motion because its motion is affected by factors like air resistance and friction, which can cause deviations from the idealized simple harmonic motion pattern.
What is the motion of a pendulum?
Simple harmonic motion
How to calculate the period of a simple harmonic motion?

What is that motion which is periodic but not harmonic?
what is difference between simple harmonic motion and vibratory motion?
