A pendulum with a mass of 405kg reaches a maximum height of 2.4m. What is its velocity at the bottommost point in its path?

Step 1
At the maximum height, the pendulum has only potential energy, and at the bottommost point, it has only kinetic energy. The potential energy at the maximum height is equal to the kinetic energy at the bottommost point. Show more…

The pendulum has a mass of 5.5 kg which hangs vertically on a light rod. The mass and rod of length 3.6 m is pulled back to form an angle of 32 degrees to the horizontal surface and released with an initial velocity of 1.6m/s. Calculate the velocity of the mass when it reaches the lowest point. Answer must be in km/h

A simple pendulum has a mass 7.2 kg and a length 1.32 meters. How much initial velocity v in m/s must be given to the mass with the pendulum if it is initially hanging vertically downward in order for it to later reach an angle of 40.4 degrees?

A pendulum is raised 2 m above the ground and is allowed to freely swing. Assuming no loss in energy, calculate the velocity of a 5-kg bob attached at the end of the pendulum at the bottom of the swing.
