Question

The figure shows a swinging pendulum, the kinetic energy of the pendulum is maximum at:

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. A, C

Answer 1

The correct option is B B

Kinetic energy depends on the mass and the velocity of the object. The velocity of the pendulum bob increases as the bob approaches the equilibrium position and the kinetic energy decreases as the bob moves further away from the equilibrium position.
Kinetic energy is highest when the velocity is highest. This occur at the equilibrium position that is pont B.
