Question

In a simple harmonic motion (SHM), which of the following does not hold?

• A. The force on the particle is maximum at the ends
• B. The acceleration is minimum at the mean postion
• C. The potential energy is maximum at the mean position
• D. The kinetic energy is maximum at the mean position

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The potential energy is maximum at the mean position

In SHM, the $PE$ is maximum at extreme position and kinetic is maximum at the mean position.
