In simple harmonic motion, at the extreme positions

Question

In simple harmonic motion, at the extreme positions (A) kinetic energy is minimum, potential energy is maximum (B) kinetic energy is maximum, potential energy is minimum (C) both kinetic and potential energies are maximum (D) both kinetic and potential energies are minimum

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In SHM, kinetic energy is maximum at mean position and zero at the extreme positions while potential energy is zero at mean position and maximum at the extreme positions.

Q. In simple harmonic motion, at the extreme positions

kinetic energy is minimum, potential energy is maximum

kinetic energy is maximum, potential energy is minimum

both kinetic and potential energies are maximum

both kinetic and potential energies are minimum

In $S H M$ , kinetic energy is maximum at mean position and zero at the extreme positions while potential energy is zero at mean position and maximum at the extreme positions.
