NEET Physics Simple Harmonic Motion MCQ Question
Which combination of statements about the velocity and acceleration in simple harmonic motion is correct?
The maximum acceleration occurs at the maximum displacement, and the velocity is maximum at the equilibrium position.
The velocity is always positive, and the acceleration is zero at maximum displacement.
The acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from the mean position, and the velocity is maximum at maximum displacement.
The velocity is zero at the equilibrium position, and the maximum acceleration is proportional to the square of the amplitude.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as the maximum acceleration is indeed at maximum displacement and maximum velocity occurs at the equilibrium position. This aligns with the relationships defined in the context of SHM.
