Question 8 • Physics

When a mass on a spring is at maximum displacement, what quantity is at a minimum?

Answer
A
amplitude
B
velocity
C
acceleration
D
net force

Explanation

At maximum displacement, the mass is at a turning point, so its instantaneous velocity is zero—the minimum speed in the oscillation. The restoring force and acceleration are greatest in magnitude there, while amplitude stays constant.
