An object is attached to a vertical ideal massless spring and bobs up and down between the two extreme points A and B.When the kinetic energy of the object is a minimum,the object is located

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the kinetic energy of the object is at minimum, the potential energy is at maximum. This occurs at points A and B, where the spring is stretched to its maximum length and the object comes to rest before changing direction. Therefore, the object must be located at either point A or point B when its kinetic energy is at a minimum.
