The velocity is zero at the maximum displacement. D. The velocity is greatest at the equilibrium position. E. The velocity is least at the maximum displacement.

Option A and B cannot be true as there is accleration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Option D cannot be true because Velocity can be gretaest and Minimum at the equilibrium position........ depends on the direction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Option E cannot be true because velocity can be least at the equilibium position...

So the correct answer is Option C as the velocity is always zero at the maximum displacement
