Question

If a body is executing simple harmonic motion, then

• A. at extreme positions, the total energy is zero
• B. at equilibrium position, the total energy is in the form of potential energy
• C. at equilibrium position, the total energy is in the form of kinetic energy
• D. at extreme position, the total energy is infinite

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

At equilibrium position, potential energy of the body is zero. So, the total energy at equilibrium position is completely kinetic energy.
