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

At which place is the acceleration due to gravity maximum?

The quick and dirty: Because the points along the equator are the earth's surface points, generally speaking, that are farthest from the axis of rotation. It is similar to this idea. Imagine that you are spinning a bicycle wheel on its axle. Points along the tire surface are moving more rapidly than points on a spoke very close to the axle. The points on the tire are covering a longer distance over the same period of time.


What does a pendulum have to do with potential and kinetic energy?

There are 3 Points at which the pendulum significantly changes direction. First it starts off pulled back before it is released it has a high potential energy because it is higher from the source of gravitation (generally the earth) but has no kinetic energy because it is not moving. Once released the pendulum loses potential energy and it swings downward and gains kinetic energy as it speed up. At the bottom of its swing it is going as fast as it will and has the highest kinetic energy and the lowest potential energy, then as it rises it loses the kinetic energy because it has to fight against gravity and loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it rises. And it repeats itself. One important thing to note is this is a great application of the law of conservation of energy because as it loses potential energy it gains the same energy in kinetic energy and vice versa (not counting the effects of wind resistance and friction however minor).


What is the slowest moving point in a pendulum swing?

There two equally slow points- the upper ends of the swing are zero. The pendulum swings as far up as it will go, and as it reverses to swing down again, the speed is (very briefly) zero.


A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave is called what?

Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.


What is center of oscillation?

center of oscillation means the point at the pendulum which oscillate by making higher displacement through it than other points.

What best describes an extreme value of a polynomial?

An "extreme value" is either a local maximum, or a local minimum - i.e., a point which is greater than all the points in a certain neighborhood, or less than all points in a certain neighborhood.

What are the maximum points for the ACT test?

In a standard ACT test, the maximum points you can get for each category is 36, and the maximum points for your total overall score (the composite score) is also 36.


Why at there different points of the earth's surface there's a variation in acceleration due to gravity?

There are couple reasons for that at least. First one is the Earth is rotating which cause some acceleration present , and from Physics we know that the acceleration has the maximum value at equator. As result the gravitational acceleration is a little bit lower over there them at any of poles. Also voids of large sizes cause lower gravity (gravity is proportional to amount of mass).

What is the maximum score in badminton in double?

There is no maximum time for a badminton game. Games are played to 21 points, but you must win by at leats 2 points. The maximum number of points allowed is 30, though, so it is possible to win 30-28 or even 30-29.
