For a particle executing simple harmonic motion, the acceleration is proportional to
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Since 
, where x is the shortest instantaneous distance from the mean position i.e. magnitude of the displacement from the mean position. Hence is true.
The distance in is scaler and thus is not the shortest instantaneous distance from the mean position. So not true.
Due to the reason and also at 
does not mean the mean position. is not true.
Acceleration is not proportional to the speed in SHM, hence not true.
