As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum 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.
When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy
Energy is never created or destroyed, but different forms of energy can be converted into another. For example, potential energy is the energy of position; a pendulum at the peak of its swing, or a spring tightly compressed. It can be converted into kinetic energy, for example, the pendulum swinging rapidly at the bottom of the swing, or the object propelled by the spring.
a body cannot have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time because, a moving body can only possess kinetic energy at a time, but potential energy is one possessed by a body with respect to its possition.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, possessed by an object in motion. Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy.
When a pendulum bob has a maximum kinetic energy, all of the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. Therefore, the potential energy of the pendulum bob is zero at that point.
An example of kinetic energy being changed to potential energy and back again is a pendulum swinging. As the pendulum swings upward, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential energy increases. At the highest point of the swing, all the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy. As it swings back down, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.
In a pendulum, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the pendulum swings back and forth. When the pendulum reaches the highest point in its swing, it has maximum potential energy; as it moves downward, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the lowest point, the pendulum has maximum kinetic energy. This energy conversion continues throughout the pendulum's motion.
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.
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?
At the start of a swing the pendulum has lots of potential energy but no kinetic energy. As it moves downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. In the upswing the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy. Some of the energy is converted into heat by friction which is why the pendulum slows down.
A pendulum is a classic example where kinetic energy is continually converted to potential energy and vice versa. As the pendulum swings, it reaches its highest point where it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy, and at the lowest point of its swing, the opposite is true with maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy.
Kinetic energy is highest at point b in a pendulum because this is the lowest point in the swing where the velocity of the pendulum bob is highest due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as the pendulum falls. At the highest point, the potential energy is at its maximum and kinetic energy is at its minimum.
In a pendulum, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the bob swings down. At the bottom of the swing, the kinetic energy is at its peak while potential energy is at its lowest. As the pendulum swings back up, this kinetic energy is then converted back into potential energy before the process repeats.
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
At this point, at the top of the swing, the pendulum has potential energy. As it drops it loses potential and gains kinetic energy. At the fastest point, as the pendulum reached the bottom of the swing, it has kinetic energy. It then loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it swings up to the other side.
