At x=0, kinetic energy is maximum andpotential energy is minimum.

Q. A body executes simple harmonic motion. The potential energy (PE), kinetic energy (KE) and total energy (TE) are measured as a function of displacement y. Which of the following statements is true?

TE is zero when $x = 0$

PE is maximum when $x = 0$

KE is maximum when $x = 0$

KE is maximum when $x$ is maximum

At $x = 0,$ kinetic energy is maximum andpotential energy is minimum.
