1 Which of the following statements about an object which performs simple harmonic motion is true?
A The acceleration is zero when the displacement is maximum.
B The velocity is maximum when the displacement is zero.
C The velocity is directly proportional to the displacement.
D The acceleration is positive when then displacement is positive.
