The time it takes a pendulum to complete one full cycle from one side to the other and back again is called its period. The angular distance swept by a pendulum as it swings from one side to the other is called its amplitude.

What is the time period of second pendulum from its extreme to mean position?
2 Seconds
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 energy changers on the pendulum bob swings?
a swinging pendulum has its potential and kinetic energy changing.when the swing is at xtreme position it has ma potential energy and at mean position it has max kinetic energy
What is meant by a period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is a measure of the amount of time it takes to complete one full cycle and return to its starting position.
How is the motion of a pendulum like that of a wave?
A simple harmonic motion is one for which the acceleration of the body into consideration is proportional its displacement from the mean position and the direction of the acceleration is always directed towards that mean position. It can be shown that, provided that the amplitude of oscillation is small, the motion of a simple pendulum is simple harmonic. All simple harmonic motions follow one rule F=-kx . When the oscillation is small(around 5 °), the motion of simple pendulum is simple harmonic motion.
What is the time period of second pendulum from its extreme to mean position?
2 Seconds
What affects a pendulum?
The mass of the pendulum, the length of string, and the initial displacement from the rest position.
What will be the trajectory of the bob of a vibrating simple pendulum after it has suddenly detached from the thread while passing through its mean position?
circular
What is the term vibration?
The To and Fro motion about the mean position of any system is known as the vibration or oscillation. Example- A simple pendulum.
What is the scientifical term for vibrations?

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.
What energy changers on the pendulum bob swings?
a swinging pendulum has its potential and kinetic energy changing.when the swing is at xtreme position it has ma potential energy and at mean position it has max kinetic energy
The amplitude of a pendulum is doubled what does this mean?
The pendulum swings twice as far.
Can you have a negative position while having a positive velocity?
Certainly. For example, a pendulum at its left-most position.
What is meant by a period of a pendulum?
The period of a pendulum is a measure of the amount of time it takes to complete one full cycle and return to its starting position.
