Question

Name the type of energy possessed by the bob of a simple pendulum when it is at i) the extreme position ii)the mean position iii. Between the mean and extreme Positions.
​

Answer 1

$\bf{\underline{\underline \green{AnswEr:-}}}$

Potential Energy

Answer and Explanation:

• At the extreme positions, the pendulum comes to a rest for a moment, so the energy possessed by the bob of a simple pendulum at the extreme position is the Potential Energy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

i) potential energy only when Bob at extreme position

ii) kinetic energy only when Bob at mean position

iii) both kinetic and potential energy when Bob between mean and extreme Positions.
