A 100 g block is connected to a horizontal massless spring of force constant 25.6 N/m. As shown in figure (a ), the block is free to oscillate on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is displaced 3 cm from the equilibrium position and, at t = 0, it is released from rest at x= 0 . It executes simple harmonic motion with the positive x-direction indicated in figure (a ).
The position-time(x-t) graph of motion of the block is as shown in figure ( b).
\[\text { (a) }\]
 When the block is at position C on the graph, its
  1. velocity is maximum, and acceleration is zero
  2. velocity is minimum, and acceleration is zero
  3. velocity is zero and acceleration is negative
  4. velocity is zero and acceleration is positive

Answer

(C) velocity is zero and acceleration is negative
