Question

In simple harmonic motion maximum velocity is at

• A. extreme position
• B. half of extreme position
• C. equilibrium position
• D. between extreme and equilibrium position

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

equilibrium position

Answer 2

In S.H.M., velocity $v=\omega \sqrt{a^{2}-y^{2}}$ $\therefore$ Velocity is maximum when $y=0$ i.e. at equilibrium position, velocity will be maximum.
