Which of the following quantities remains constant during the simple harmonic motion of a particle?
- A.Velocity
- B.Acceleration
- C.Total mechanical energy
- D.Restoring force
Show correct answer & step-by-step solution
Correct answer: C — Total mechanical energy
Solution
In an ideal simple harmonic motion, there is no friction or air resistance, so the total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy, remains conserved.
