What is the kinetic energy at the extreme position during SHM?
Correct answer: A. Zero
- A. Zero
- B. Maximum
- C. Minimum
- D. Constant
Explanation
In Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM), the kinetic energy is maximum at the mean position and zero at the extreme positions. This is because at the extreme positions, the velocity of the object is zero, and kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity

About Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple harmonic motion is oscillation in which acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed toward the equilibrium position. Work includes displacement, velocity, acceleration, phase, period, frequency, amplitude and energy, with applications to springs and simple pendulums. The restoring force and the conditions for SHM distinguish it from general periodic motion.
