4. | For a particle executing simple harmonic motion, which of the following statements is not correct? | |
A. | Total energy is always directed toward a fixed point | |
B. | Restoring force is always directed towards a fixed point | |
C. | Restoring force is maximum at the extreme positions | |
D. | Acceleration of the particle is maximum at the equilibrium position | |
Answer: Option D | |
