Question

Verify that your equation has the masses and the velocities before and after the collision. Solve equation for the initial velocity of the projectile, Vo. As the bob swings upward from h1 to a max of h2, what is happening to the kinetic energy of the system?

Answer 1

Decrease occur in kinetic energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy decreases when the the Bob swings reaches to the maximum height because the motion of the bob slower down. At maximum height, the kinetic energy decreases whereas the value of potential energy is the highest. The main reason of higher potential energy is that it depends on height of an object while on the other hand, kinetic energy depends on the motion of an object so that's why the value of kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases at maximum height of the bob.
