NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
What is the total energy of a block executing simple harmonic motion when it is at maximum displacement?
Zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy
Maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy
A combination of kinetic and potential energy
Constant energy regardless of displacement
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
At maximum displacement, the kinetic energy is zero, and the total energy of the system is equal to the potential energy, confirming the principle of conservation of energy.
