What is the kinetic energy of math pendulum?
AlexandreGurchumelia...
The kinetic energy, when the pendulum is at a distance x metres from its central position is
0.5*m*q2*(p2 - x2), Newtons where
m is the mass of the pendulum, assumed to be concentrated at the bottom,
q is given by q = 2pi/period,
p is the amplitude of the pendulum.

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.
Where will you locate on a pendulum or roller coaster the greatest potential and greatest kinetic energy?
On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.
Explain how the maximum height is related to the maximum potential energy?
This question makes sense in the context of something like a pendulum. At the top of its swing, a pendulum is at maximum height, is not moving and so has zero kinetic energy, and has maximum potential energy since all its energy is potential. As it falls, it gradually moves with increasing speed, so its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the swing, it is moving at maximum speed, and all its energy is kinetic, none is potential, Then it starts to move upwards again, and its kinetic energy is gradually converted back to potential energy.
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.

Why is there kinetic energy?
because there is kinetic energy.
How does a pendulum work?
greetings.a pendulum has both kinetic and potential energy at one point.when the pendulum is at its highest point it has potential energy.it has kinetic energy when the ball of the pendulum is right in the middle.get it?
Describe the energy conversions that take place in the pendulum?
In a pendulum, the energy transformations involve potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as the pendulum swings back and forth. At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy, which is then converted to maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing. This process continues as the pendulum oscillates, with energy being continually converted between potential and kinetic forms.
A certain pendulum has a potential energy of 20 J when it is at the top of its swing. What is the kinetic energy?
If at the top of the swing the pendulum is STOPPED then it has zero kinetic energy.
When pendulum stops has the kinetic energy changed to potential energy?
As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.
As a pendulum swings energy is continuosly transformed between kinetic energy and?
When the pendulum swings up, it gains potential energy, but loses kinetic energy. Therefore when it swing down, it gains kinetic energy, but loses potential energy.
How kinetic energy affects pendulum?

What happens to the gravitational potential energy as the pendulum starts back up towards its highest point?
The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.
When a pendulum is at the center position what is true of the kinetic and potential energy?
If a pendulum is at its center position, then there are two possibilities: 1). It may be swinging. Then its kinetic energy is maximum and its potential energy is zero. 2). It may be stopped altogether. Then it has no energy at all.
When you were holding the pendulum at the far end what kind of energy does it possess?
At this point, at the top of the swing, the pendulum has potential energy. As it drops it loses potential and gains kinetic energy. At the fastest point, as the pendulum reached the bottom of the swing, it has kinetic energy. It then loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it swings up to the other side.
At what point in its motion is the kinetic energy of the end of a pendulm?
The kinetic energy of the end of a pendulum when it halfway in its motion
What energy does pendulum have?
When the pendulum is at its highest point or amplitude, it has the highest potential energy. When it passes by its point of equilibriu, it has the highest kinetic energy.
What energy occur as a pendulum swings?
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
