Question

Which of the following statements concerning simple harmonic motion is false? A During simple harmonic motion, the net force on the object is zero when it is at its equilibrium position. B The displacement versus time graph for an object in simple harmonic motion resembles the sine or cosine function. The amplitude of the motion of an object in simple harmonic motion is the maximum distance the object moves from its equilibrium position. D A restoring force acts on an object in simple harmonic motion that is directed in the same direction as the object's displacement. E A restoring force acts on the object that is proportional to the object's displacement from its equilibrium position.

Explanation / Answer

option D is false

the restoring force always tries to keep the object in equilibrium position. so that it always acts opposite in direction to the displacement of the object
