Answer:
The velocity
Explanation:
For a mass-spring system, the total mechanical energy is constant during the motion. The total mechanical energy is sum of the elastic potential energy, U, and the kinetic energy, K:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the displacement
m is the mass
v is the velocity
Since E must remain constant, we see that when x increases, v decreases, and vice-versa. Therefore, when x (the displacement) is at maximum, v (the velocity) is at minimum (more precisely, it is zero).
