What is the kinetic energy of pendulum when it reaches at extreme position?
The kinetic energy of the bob of the pendulum is zero at the extreme positions while its value is maximum when it passes through its mean position.
What is the energy of a pendulum at its highest point?
gravitational potential energy
At its highest point (Point A) the pendulum is momentarily motionless. All of the energy in the pendulum is gravitational potential energy and there is no kinetic energy.
When the bob of simple pendulum is at extreme position?
When the bob of a simple pendulum is displaced to one extreme position P and then released, it swings towards the centre position Q and then to the other extreme position R.
What is the energy possessed by the pendulum?
The energy possessed by an oscillating pendulum of a clock is called mechanical energy. It is a combination of kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the one that is due to the motion of an object whereas potential energy due to the virtue of an objects position.
What form of energy does the swinging pendulum represent?
kinetic energy
As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy, then back to potential energy, then back to kinetic energy, and so forth.
What is the value of kinetic energy of bob at mean position O?
Kinetic energy at mean position is 0.05 J .
At what point during the swing of a pendulum is the kinetic energy the largest?
The kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom of the swing, where the gravity potential energy is minimum. The pendulum continues to swing up, slowing down and losing kinetic energy as gravity potential energy.
At what point during the swing of a pendulum is the mechanical energy greatest or is it constant during the swing?
At what point during the swing of a pendulum is the kinetic energy greatest, or is it constant during the swing? At lowest point where PE is lowest. At what point during the swing of a pendulum is the mechanical energy greatest, or is it constant during the swing? Constant, because KE=PE+ Emec.
What kind of energy does the bob possess now?
The kinetic energy becomes zero, and the bob possesses only potential energy. As it moves towards point P, its potential energy decreases progressively. Accordingly, the kinetic energy increases. As the bob reaches point P, its potential energy becomes zero and the bob possesses only kinetic energy.
What type of motion is possessed by the bob?
When the bob is displaced from equilibrium and then released, it begins its back and forth vibration about its fixed equilibrium position. The motion is regular and repeating, an example of periodic motion.
What is the energy possessed by an oscillating pendulum of a clock?
mechanical energy
The energy possessed by an oscillating pendulum of a clock is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy and this sum is known as mechanical energy.
What form of energy did the pendulum have at position o A mechanical energy b potential energy c kinetic energy d None of the above?
A pendulum has mechanical energy; it continually converts kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy and back into kinetic energy as it swings back and forth.
