Question

Problem 2

Answer 1

Given information

Given:

An object oscillating back and forth on the end of the spring, we need to determine which among the following statements is true at some time during motion?

1. The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, nonzero acceleration.
2. The object can have zero velocity and, simultaneously, zero acceleration.
3. The object can have zero acceleration and, simultaneously, nonzero velocity.
4. The object can have nonzero velocity and nonzero acceleration simultaneously.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The simple harmonic motion of a particle is a sort of periodic motion in which the particle's acceleration is proportional to its location relative to its mean position at any given time and is always heading towards the mean position.
