Question

Look at the pendulum diagram. at which point is the kinetic energy of the pendulum the greatest

Answer 1

Position ' C ' is the middle of the swing. That's where the weight is the lowest.

It's also the place where the weight is moving the fastest, so that means it's the place where the kinetic energy is greatest.

Answer 2

At point C

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of the pendulum is maximum at its mean position, i.e., at C.

Formula for Kinetic energy is given by

`K = 1/ 2* m* v^(2)`

As velocity is maximum at C so kinetic energy is also maximum at C.
