Both kinetic and potential energy of a particle in simple harmonic motion vary between zero and their:
AMomentary values
BMaximum values
CMagnetic values
DMarginal values
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Maximum values
1. Energy shifts back and forth between two forms during the cycle.
2. Each form is at its largest when the other is at zero.
3. Both kinetic and potential energies vary between zero and their maximum values.
4. Their sum stays fixed.
