Zero potential energy and maximum kinetic energy
Zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy
Maximum kinetic energy and maximum potential energy
Minimum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: A. Zero potential energy and maximum kinetic energy.
When a particle is at its maximum displacement, it has the maximum distance from its equilibrium position. This means that its potential energy is at a minimum, since potential energy is inversely proportional to distance from the equilibrium position. At the same time, its kinetic energy is at a maximum, since kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the particle’s velocity. This is because the particle has to travel the fastest in order to reach its maximum displacement.
Option B is incorrect because the particle
