For a particle executing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements is not correct
A
The total energy of the particle always remains the same
B
The restoring force of always directed towards a fixed point
C
The restoring force is maximum at the extreme positions
D
The acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position
Answer
The acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position
Explanation
Solution
Acceleration ∝ – displacement, and direction of acceleration is always directed towards the equilibrium position.
