A pendulum is fastest at the lowest point of its swing, where its kinetic energy is maximum. At this point, all the potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, resulting in the highest speed of the pendulum.

Where will you locate on a pendulum or roller coaster the greatest potential and greatest kinetic energy?

The greatest potential energy will be located at the highest point of the pendulum or roller coaster, when the object is farthest from the ground. The greatest kinetic energy will be located at the lowest point of the pendulum or roller coaster, when the object is moving fastest.


How earth's rotation affects a pendulum?

Earth's rotation affects a pendulum due to the Coriolis force, which causes the pendulum's plane of oscillation to rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. This rotation is a result of the pendulum's inertia attempting to maintain its orientation as Earth rotates underneath it. The Coriolis effect causes the apparent deflection of the pendulum's swing.


How does the period of a pendulum difference theoretically with angular displacement and mass of ball for simple pendulum?

The period of a pendulum is independent of the angular displacement (within small angles) and the mass of the ball. It is only dependent on the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity. This is known as the principle of isochronism of the pendulum, first discovered by Galileo.
