In a conservative system, the total energy is constant.
The kinetic energy T is stored in the mass by virtue of its
velocity, whereas the potential energy U is stored in the form
of strain energy in elastic deformation or by a spring or work
done in a force field such as gravity. The total energy being
constant, its rate of change is zero.
T + U = constant T
