Best answer

When the sign in the force equation is changed from ‘− ve’ to ‘+ ve’, the force and hence acceleration will not be opposite to displacement. Due to which the particle will not oscillate but will be accelerated in the direction of displacement. As a result of it, the motion will become a linearly accelerated motion.
