Determine the position in the oscillation where an object in simple harmonic motion: (Be very specific, and give some reasoning to your answer.) has the greatest speed has the greatest acceleration experiences the greatest restoring force experiences zero restoring force g

Explanation:

The greatest speed is attained at middle point or equilibrium point or where displacement from equilibrium point is zero .

When the object remains at one of the extreme point it experiences greatest acceleration but at that point velocity is zero . Due to acceleration , its velocity goes on increasing till it come to equilibrium point . At this point acceleration becomes zero . After that its velocity starts decreasing because of negative acceleration . Hence at middle point velocity is maximum .

The greatest acceleration is attained at maximum displacement or at one of the two extreme end .

Greatest restoring force too will be at position where acceleration is maximum because acceleration is produced by restoring force .

Restoring force is proportional to displacement or extension against restoring force . So it will be maximum when displacement is maximum .

Zero restoring force exists at equilibrium position or middle point or at point where displacement is zero . It is so because acceleration at that point is zero .
