Simple Harmonic Motion of Pendulums Video Lessons

Concept

# Problem: Rank each pendulum on the basis of the maximum kinetic energy it attains after release. Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

###### FREE Expert Solution

Gravitational potential energy is given by:

$\overline{){\mathbf{U}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{m}}{\mathbf{g}}{\mathbf{h}}}$

From the conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy of the system.
