For a particle performing S.H.M., which of the following statement is INCORRECT?

  • A
    Acceleration of the particle is minimum at the mean position,
  • B
    The restoring force is always directed towards mean position,
  • C
    The total energy of the particle is same at every moment of time.
  • Correct answer
    D
    The velocity of the particle is minimum at the mean position.

Solution

Concept based. Of all the above statements only D is incorrect as the velocity or the kinetic energy of the particle is maximum at mean position. As the potential energy at the mean position is zero.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
