Physics Question regarding Work ( calculations of kinetic energy & potential energy )
A Pendulum of mass 0.7kg is swinging . The maximum speed of the pendulum, where the
pendulum's position is at it's lowest, is 2.0ms-1. Calculate the maximum kinetic energy of
the pendulum and the maximum gravitational potential energy of the pendulum as it is at its greatest height.
ok, youre understood, sorry yea first time using this ;x
Relevant equations:
Ek ( Kinetic Energy ) = 1/2mv²
Ep ( Potential Energy ) = mgh
The Attempted Solution :
Ek = 1/2mv²
= 1/2 x 0.7 x 2²
= 1.4J
Ep = m x g x h
= ( 0.7 kg ) x 10m/s² ( i shall do a round-up ) x h ( unknown )
i was stucked here as i can't get the value of 'h' o.o
