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.

Which amount of potential and kinetic energy changes but the total amount of mechanical energy stays the same?
Kinetic energy is the energy a body has because of its mass in motion. and Potential energy is the energy a body has because of its position in a gravitational field (- the energy trying to pull it down). These are two different types of energy but the energy is interchangeable. For instance:- If you hold a cube of steel 3 feet in the air, it's total energy is its gravitational potential (potential energy). When you release the cube, this potential energy is converted into movement (kinetic energy). When it hits the ground it will stop but the kinetic energy will have been dissipated in the form of other energies or mechanical work - sound, some heating of the ground and the object and perhaps a small dent. Now the object is 3 ft closer to the center of the gravity field and has less potential energy than before (but still has some, it wants to fall further) Thus the total energy equation is:- Energy at the start (all potential) = Residual potential energy + kinetic energy of falling (which is = to dissipated energy -sound, heat and dent)
Where is the position of the nucleus in a cell?
The nucleus is found in the center of the cytoplasm of the cell. The nucleus is not always in the center of the cell and it is never situated too close to the cell wall.
Is the ear medial or lateral to the eye?
The ears are lateral to the eyes. The eyes are medial to the ears.
What is the term that means nearest to the midline of the body?
cut your body right down the center and there is your midline...
What organ is located below the rib cage in the center?
There are two organs located below the rib cage near the center of the chest. Both the stomach and the spleen are organs located in this general position on the body.
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.
How is energy transferred during a pendulum swing?
A swinging pendulum has potential energy at each end of it's travel (when it stops momentarily) This energy is converted to kinetic energy as it swings down and back to potential energy as it swings up the other way.
When is the potential energy of a pendulum at its greatest?
The highest point of the pendulums swing is when the potential energy is at its highest and the kinetic energy is at its lowest. Kinetic energy is at its highest when at the lowest point of its swing, or equilibrium position, this is when the potential energy is at zero.
Does the force of gravity do any work on a pendulum bob?
During the half-arc when the pendulum bob is falling toward the center, gravity is doing work on it ... exerting a force which moves through a distance ... and adding to its kinetic energy. During the other half, when the bob is moving up from the center, it's using its own kinetic energy to work against gravity. That moves it to a higher elevation, adding to its gravitational potential energy, and placing it in a position from which it can fall again.
What energy is stored in the center of atoms?
well the energy stored in the center of an atom is potential and kinetic for sure
Give 3 examples of potential energy?
Here are some examples of energy conversion:a stove= electrical energy into thermal energy.a lamp=electrical energy to light and heat energy.ipod= electrical energy into sound energylike in a pendulum when pendulum moves from center point to left on the highest point k.e will be zero but g.p.e will be greatest when pendulum moves back to center point the gravitational p.e is zero but at the same time k.e will be greatest until it reaches the highest point.a flashlight=chemical energy to light energy
What device that transforms gravitational energy to kinetic energy?
Anything that falls. Some examples are: -- A waterfall -- A ball rolling down a hill -- A sailplane, when it is NOT climbing in a thermal -- Any pendulum, when it is moving TOWARD the center of its swing -- Anything you drop. The gravitational potential that it has relative to the floor while you're holding it in your hand is exactly the kinetic energy it has when it hits the floor.
Which amount of potential and kinetic energy changes but the total amount of mechanical energy stays the same?

What is the difference between coupled pendulum and simple pendulum?
simple pendulum center of mass and center of oscillation are at the same distance.coupled pendulum is having two bobs attached with a spring.
How the motion of simple pendulum is affected if it is placed at the center of earth?
If the plumb point of a pendulum is the center of earth, the pendulum will make diametrical oscillations
How does a pendulums period vary with the length of its mass With Gravitational acceleration?
The length of the pendulum is measured from the pendulum's point of suspension to the center of mass of its bob. Its amplitude is the string's angular displacement from its vertical or its equilibrium position.
Why does the period of a pendulum not depend on the amplitude?
Actually, the period of a pendulum does depend slightly on the amplitude. But at low amplitudes, it almost doesn't depend on the amplitude at all. This is related to the fact that in such a case, the restoring force - the force that pulls the pendulum back to its center position - is proportional to the displacement. That is, if the pendulum moves away further, the restoring force will also be greater.
