When the kinetic energy of a body in SHM is at its maximum, what else is true?

Correct answer D. P.E., acceleration and restoring force are all zero

Explanation

Kinetic energy peaks at the mean position, where displacement is zero; restoring force, acceleration and potential energy all depend on displacement, so they are zero there.
