Question

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?

(a.)-A
(6.)-42A
[(c.) 0
(d.)+12A
(e.)+A

Answer 1

Option (e)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.
