Question

How do you find the maximum kinetic energy of a pendulum?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The following is the relationship between kinetic energy, mass, and velocity:

$KineticEnergy\left(K.E.\right)=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

Where, $m=$mass, and $v=$velocity.

1. Due to the maximum velocity at equilibrium, the kinetic energy will be at its highest. The kinetic energy of an object is greatest when it is moving more quickly than another thing.
2. The pendulum's position is related to the idea of kinetic energy. The bob's kinetic energy will rise as it comes closer to the equilibrium position.
3. The bob's kinetic energy will decrease as it deviates from the equilibrium position.
4. A pendulum constantly trades its gravitational and kinetic energy as it swings. The pendulum has zero velocity at the height of the swing, hence the kinetic energy is zero.
