Question

The energy changes in an oscillating pendulum is

• A. Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy continuously interconvert such that Potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum at extreme positions and mean position respectively.
• B. Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy continuously interconvert such that Potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum at mean position and extreme positions respectively.
• C. Elastic potential energy and kinetic energy continuously interconvert such that Potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum at extreme positions and mean position respectively.
• D. Elastic potential energy and kinetic energy continuously interconvert such that Potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum at mean position and extreme positions respectively.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy continuously interconvert such that Potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum at extreme positions and mean position respectively.

In an oscillating pendulum, gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy continuously keep on changing to each other. Potential energy and kinetic energy are maximum at extreme positions and mean position respectively.
