AIPMT PRELIMS 2002 Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
Displacement between max. P.E. position and max. K.E. position for a particle executing simple harmonic motion is :-
A
± a/2
B
± a
C
± a
D
± 1
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
In simple harmonic motion, the maximum potential energy occurs at the maximum displacement, while the maximum kinetic energy occurs at the equilibrium position. The displacement between these points is ± a/2.
