What happens to the acceleration of a simple pendulum as it approaches the lowest point of its swing?
The velocity reaches a maximum, and the pendulum will begin to decelerate. Because the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity, and the derivative at the location of an extrema is zero, the acceleration goes to zero.
Where is a pendulum the fastest?
At the bottom of it's motion because the gravitational potential energy is zero
If you have a 2kg pendulum bob that is 6 meters above the ground at its high point and 1 meter at its low point how can you figure the kinetic energy?
Calculate the potential energy at its highest point. Don't use the 6 meters above the ground - use the 5 meter difference from the lowest point. This part of the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy, when the pendulum is at its lowest point. Just assume that all the potential energy (for the 5 meters difference) get converted into kinetic energy.Calculate the potential energy at its highest point.

What happens to acceleration of pendulum at its lowest point of its swing?
The acceleration of a pendulum is zero at the lowest point of its swing.
Errors in a simple pendulum and ways of minimizing or reducing the error?
making timings by sighting the bob past a fixed reference point (called a 'fiducial point')Sighting the bob as it moves fastest past a reference point. The pendulum swings fastest at its lowest point and slowest at the top of each swing.· The bob of the pendulum was displaced with a small angle· The amplitude of the oscillation of a simple pendulum is small.· The simple pendulum oscillates in a vertical plane only.· Switch off the fan to reduce the air resistance
What is pendalam?
Simple pendulum is a term related to physics. A Simple pendulum coined as a single point mass which is held in suspension held from a string at a fixed point.
When considering a swinging pendulum its kinetic energy is greatest when?
At its lowest point
What happens to the acceleration of a simple pendulum as it approaches the lowest point of its swing?
The velocity reaches a maximum, and the pendulum will begin to decelerate. Because the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity, and the derivative at the location of an extrema is zero, the acceleration goes to zero.

Pendulum has a gravitational potential energy of 224 J when it is at its highest point At the lowest point in its swing it has a velocity of 4 ms What is the mass of the pendulum?
28 kg
When is a pendulum moving at its fastest?
When it is exactly at its lowest point; the point where it is closest to the ground. Before that point it is accelerating; after that point it is decelerating.
Differences between compound pendulum and simple pendulum?
Compound pendulum is a physical pendulum whereas a simple pendulum is ideal pendulum. The difference is that in simple pendulum centre of mass and centre of oscillation are at the same distance.
How the motion of simple pendulum is affected if it is placed at the center of earth?
If the plumb point of a pendulum is the center of earth, the pendulum will make diametrical oscillations
A swinging pendulum is moving fastest at?
A swinging pendulum is moving fastest at the lowest point of its arc. That is the point where all its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, and it is the only point in a pendulum's arc where that happens. See related link (a simulation).
What is a limitations to a simple pendulum?
A "simple pendulum" is a mathematical abstraction; the limitation, of course, is that it is not 100% accurate. The assumptions are that it is frictionless, that all the mass of the bob is concentrated in one point, and that the thread that holds the pendulum is massless. Each of these assumptions can be approximated in real life, but only up to a certain point.
