2. It can be represented as a uniform circular motion.
3. At any instant of its motion, acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.
4. The acceleration is always directed towards the mean position.
5. Potential energy is the maximum at the maximum displacement and kinetic energy is the maximum at the mean position.
