Is the period of the pendulum influenced by the point from which it is released?
No Time period, T = 2π √(l/g) π - pi l - lenght of the pendulum g - acceleration due to gravity at the place
How does a pendulums period vary with the length of its mass With Gravitational acceleration?
The length of the pendulum is measured from the pendulum's point of suspension to the center of mass of its bob. Its amplitude is the string's angular displacement from its vertical or its equilibrium position.
When does a pendulum have the most momentum?
When the pendulum is at its lowest point, it has the least potential energy. Therefore, logically, due to conservation of energy, its kinetic energy is at its maximum. Therefore its speed is also at its maximum, as well as its momentum (velocity x mass).
The amplitude of the pendulum?
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
When is a pendulum at equilibrium?
The equilibrium point of a pendulum is when it does not oscillate and is quite stable. It does not count if you interfere with the movement of the pendulum (eg.: by holding it).
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.
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 happen to simple pendulum at lowest point of its swing?
At the low point of a swinging pendulum, the type of energy being demonstrated is maximum kinetic energy. It has zero potential energy at this point of the swing.
When considering a swinging pendulum its kinetic energy is greatest when?
At its lowest point
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
What happens to the energy in the pendulum as it swings from point a to point b?
potato
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.
Why acceleration is maximum at extreme points of simple pendulum?
f=ma that in equilibrium postion the force are zero that why the in sample pendulum the force is zero that mean that acceleration is also zero that point velocity is maximum
Can velocity of an object be zero at the same instant its acceleration is not zero?
Yes. For example a swinging pendulum has zero velocity at the turning point but acceleration is not zero.
When does a pendulum swing have the most momentum?
At the bottom of it's swing. This is because it has accelerated to it's peak velocity due to gravity.
What are the following terms-angular acceleration-centripetal acceleration-instantaneous acceleration-ballistic pendulum-angle of deviation-therionic emission of light-first law of thermodynamic?
instantaneous acceleration is the acceleration at one point. yeah, it's true
Is the period of the pendulum influenced by the point from which it is released?
No Time period, T = 2π √(l/g) π - pi l - lenght of the pendulum g - acceleration due to gravity at the place
