The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.

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.


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?


Where does the bob have the highest potential energy?

-- If you're talking about a pendulum, then the potential energy is highest and kinetic energy is zero at the ends of the swing, and potential energy is lowest and kinetic energy is highest in the middle of the swing. -- If you're not talking about a pendulum, then the preceding may be completely wrong.


At which point does he have the most gravitational potential energy?

It isn't clear what you mean with "he", but an object's gravitational potential energy is greatest at its highest position.


When does the string of a car on a roller coaster store its maximum gravitational potential energy?

Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.


At the top of the first hill the cart has the highest (Gravitational) Potential Energy?

Yes.


When a ball is throw straight up at what position is its kinetic energy at its maximum and at what position is gravitational potential energy at its maximum?

It's kinetic energy is highest when it is about half way to the top. The gravitational potential energy is highest when it is about to fall back down.


Where the kinetic energy and potential energy becomes equal in simple pendulum?

A pendulum oscillates between two stationary points at the ends of its swing, with maximum speed at the center of the swing. So the kinetic energy is highest at the swing center where it is travelling fastest, and drops to zero at the stationary end points. The potential energy does the opposite, being a maximum at the ends and minimum in the center.


If you throw a ball into the air where will it have the greatest gravitational potential energy?

The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.


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.
