The oscillating object overshoots the rest position due to:
Correct answer: B. Inertia
- A. Restoring force
- B. Inertia
- C. Gravitational potential energy
- D. Elastic potential energy
Explanation
To get oscillations, a body is pulled away from its resting or equilibrium position and then released. The body oscillates due to a restoring force. Under the action of this restoring force, the body accelerates and overshoots the rest position due to inertia.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
