At the middle point velocity of the particle under $SHM$ is maximum but acceleration is zero since displacement is zero. So Assertion is true.

We know that $x=a \sin \omega t$                         $...(1)$

Where $x$ is displacement and a is amplitude.

Velocity $=\frac{d x}{d t}=a \omega \cos \omega t$

$=a \omega \cos (-\omega t)=a \omega \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-(-\omega t)\right)$

$=a \omega \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$            $...(2)$

From equation $( 1 )$ and $(ii)$ it is clear that

Velocity is ahead of displacement $(x)$ by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ angle.

    $A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Find minimum time it will take to reach from $x = - \frac{A}{2}$ to $0$.
