NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11
In the diagram shown above, if the spring is compressed from its natural length, which of the following is true at maximum compression?
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.
