# A simple pendulum oscillates with amplitude \(A\) and period \(T\), as represented on the graph above. Which option best represents the magnitude of the pendulum’s velocity \(v\) and acceleration \(a\) at time \(\frac{T}{2}\)?

A simple pendulum oscillates with amplitude \(A\) and period \(T\), as represented on the graph above. Which option best represents the magnitude of the pendulum’s velocity \(v\) and acceleration \(a\) at time \(\frac{T}{2}\)?

![Diagram](https://nerd-notes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Graph13-300x275.png)

- **A.** \(v < 0\), \(a < 0\)
- **B.** \(v < 0, \, a = 0\)
- **C.** \(v < 0\), \(a > 0\)
- **D.** \(v = 0, \, a > 0 \)
- **E.** \(v = 0\), \(a = 0\)
