Question diagram
A

Potential energy of the spring equals kinetic energy of the moving object.

B

Potential energy of the spring is greater than kinetic energy of the moving object.

C

Potential energy of the spring is less than kinetic energy of the moving object.

D

Potential energy of the spring and kinetic energy of the moving object are both zero.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

At maximum compression, the potential energy stored in the spring is equal to the kinetic energy of the moving object, as per the principle of conservation of mechanical energy.
