Step 1
a. Frequency: The frequency of an object in simple harmonic motion is a measure of how many complete oscillations it makes in a given time period. It is not directly related to the object's displacement, so it is not at a maximum when the object is at its maximum Show more…

In simple harmonic motion, the speed is greatest at that point in the cycle when A) the displacement is a maximum. B) the potential energy is a maximum. C) the kinetic energy is a minimum. D) the magnitude of the acceleration is a minimum. E) the magnitude of the acceleration is a maximum.
