A body executes simple harmonic motion. The potential energy (P.E.), the kinetic energy (K.E.) and total energy (T.E.) are measured as function of displacement x . Which of the following statement is true?

A $K.E. is maximum when x = 0$
B $T.E. is zero when x = 0$
C $K.E. is maximum when x is maximum$
D $P.E. is maximum when x = 0$

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In SHM:At mean position (x = 0), velocity is maximum, so K.E. is maximum and P.E. is minimum.At extreme positions (x = A), velocity is zero, so K.E. is zero and P.E. is maximum.Total Energy (T.E.) remains constant throughout the motion.
