- Acceleration in SHM is proportional to displacement (a = -ω²x). - Acceleration is minimum (zero) at the mean position (x=0). - Acceleration is maximum in magnitude at the extreme positions (|x| =A). - The direction of acceleration is always towards the mean position.
A particle executes S.H.M. The acceleration of the particle is maximum
