NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The total mechanical energy in simple harmonic motion is constant. | Reason (R): At maximum displacement, all energy is potential energy and kinetic energy is zero.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT text states that the total energy of the system remains constant and at maximum displacement, kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is maximum.
