Question

When an object in simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement, its____________ is also at a maximum.

Answer 1

When an object in simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement, its acceleration is also at a maximum.

Reason: The speed is zero when the simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement, however, the acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The velocity reverses the direction at that point therefore its rate of change is maximum at that moment. thus the acceleration is at its maximum at this point
