For a particle performing S.H.M., Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Options
- AAcceleration of the particle is minimum at the mean position,
- BThe restoring force is always directed towards mean position,
- CThe total energy of the particle is same at every moment of time.
- DThe velocity of the particle is minimum at the mean position.
Correct answer
D. The velocity of the particle is minimum at the mean position.
Step-by-step 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.
