A spring with one end attached to a mass and the other to a rigid support is stretched and
released:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION
(a, c) When spring is stretched by
, restoring force will be 
potential energy of the stretched spring
When particle is released, it will execute S.H.M. about equilibrium position.
Acceleration will be
At equilibrium position,

Hence, when just released
Hence, acceleration is maximum. Thus, option is correct.
At equilibrium, whole PE will be converted to K.E. Hence,
K.E will be maximum and hence, speed will be maximum.
