Question

2. What is a pendulum? Give any two examples where the objects undergo pendulum-
like motion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wrecking Ball. Used to demolish buildings, a wrecking ball is another example of pendulum motion. A skilled crane operator swings the wrecking ball on a strong cable, aiming it at the building to be taken down. Energy is stored in the upswing, and is released when the ball hits something.

Answer 2

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.
