Question

A body executes simple harmonic motion. The potential energy (P.E.), the kinetic energy (K.E.) and total energy (T.E.) are measured as function of displacement x. Which of the following statement is true?

Options

A.K.E. is maximum when x = 0
B.T.E. is zero when x = 0
C.K.E. is maximum when x is maximum
D.P.E. is maximum when x = 0.

Solution

Since at x = 0, the potential energy is minimum, the kinetic energy is maximum.
