When an object in simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement, its <u>acceleration</u> is also at a maximum.
<u><em>Reason</em></u><em>: 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</em>

Hope that helps!
Given
initial position = Xi= 19.9m
Final position Xf = 5.4m
Average velocity= Va = -0.418m/s
it shows displacement is reverse.
To find t=?
As Va = (Xf- Xi) / t
t = (Xf-Xi) / ( Va)
t = ( 5.4-19.9) / (-0.418)
t = (-14.5 ) / (-0.418) (-ve sign cancel out at numerator and denominator)
t =34.69 s
According to scientists, the first fossil of a jellyfish first appeared approximately 500 million years ago. Or to be more exact, the Cambrian Period.
Hope I could help! :)
