This question consist of two statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Statement I: In SHM, acceleration always acts towards mean position.
Statement II: In extreme position of a particle executing SHM, both velocity and acceleration are zero.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. In simple harmonic motion, the velocity is given by
at extreme position, 
. But acceleration 
, which is maximum at extreme position.
