Answer 1

QUESTION -

Explain the transformation of energy in a pendulum.

ANSWER -

A pendulum repeatedly converts gravitational potential energy (GPE) to kinetic energy and back again.

When the pendulum is at the highest point of its swing, it’s GPE is at a maximum and at the same time it has an instantaneous velocity of zero, so it’s kinetic energy is also zero.

➡️As it swings down, it accelerates, trading GPE for kinetic energy. At the lowest point of the swing, its GPE reaches a minimum and its velocity (and therefore its kinetic energy) reaches a maximum.

Answer 2

when when a pendulum undergone oscillatory montion, energy is been transformed between potential energy and kinetic energy..
