For a particle performing S.H.M., which of the following statement is INCORRECT?
- A Acceleration of the particle is minimum at the mean position,
- B The restoring force is always directed towards mean position,
- C The total energy of the particle is same at every moment of time.
- D The velocity of the particle is minimum at the mean position.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) The velocity of the particle is minimum at the mean position.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Concept based.
Of all the above statements only D is incorrect as the velocity or the kinetic energy of the particle is maximum at mean position. As the potential energy at the mean position is zero.
