Three positions of a horizontal spring-mass oscillator at x=-A, x=0, and x=+A with speed and energy labels

An oscillation is repeated motion about an equilibrium position, where the resultant force is zero. The displacement xxx is the signed distance from equilibrium, while the amplitude AAA is the maximum value of ∣x∣|x|∣x∣.
