Simple harmonic motion

Question

Which one of the following statements is true for the speed v and the acceleration a of a particle executing simple harmonic motion

Easy

A

When v is maximum, a is maximum
B

Value of a is zero, whatever may be the value of v
C

When v is zero, a is zero
D

When v is maximum, a is zero

Solution

In S.H.M. $v = \sqrt{A^{2} - y^{2}}$ and $a = - ω^{2} y$ when $y = A$
$\Rightarrow v_{\min} = 0$ and $a_{\max} = - ω^{2} A$
