At the extreme position in SHM, kinetic energy equals:
AMaximum
BEqual to PE
CHalf of total
DZero (all energy is PE here)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Zero (all energy is PE here)
At extreme (x = ±A): v = 0, so KE = 0. All energy is potential.
At mean (x = 0): PE = 0, KE = max = total energy.
