Question

A pendulum is held at the top of its swing. The person holding the pendulum lets go, and the pendulum is allowed to swing freely. Answer the following questions about the pendulum.a. When the pendulum is held at the top of its swing, what type of energy does it have?(1 point)Responses
A. kinetic energy
B. electrical energy
C. potential energy
D. motion energy

b. As the pendulum swings freely, what is happening to its energy?(1 point)Responses

A. KE converts to PE as it falls, and then PE converts to KE as it rises
B.KE converts to PE, and then total energy becomes zero
C. PE converts to KE as it falls, and then KE converts to PE as it rises
D.PE converts to KE, and then total energy becomes zero

c. When are kinetic energy and potential energy equal in magnitude (equal in amount)?(1 point)Responses

A. They are equal at the top position.
B. They are equal at the bottom position.
C.They are equal at every position.
D.They are equal half-way between the top position and the bottom position.

Answer 1

1. How did mass affect the ability of each ball to move the cup?(1 point)Responses

A. The ball with the higher mass moved the cup a greater distance.
B.The balls moved the cup the same distance.
C.The cup's motion was independent of the mass of the ball.
D.The ball with the lower mass moved the cup a greater distance.

2. How did the mass of the ball impact the ball's kinetic energy?(1 point)Responses

A.An increase in mass caused an increase in kinetic energy.
B.Mass did not impact kinetic energy.
C. An increase in mass caused a decrease in kinetic energy.
D. A decrease in mass caused an increase in kinetic energy.

3. What happened to the kinetic energy of the ball when it hit the cup?(1 point)Responses

A. Some of the energy was transferred to the cup.
B.Overall, kinetic energy was gained.
C. Overall, kinetic energy was lost.
D.All of the kinetic energy was kept by the ball.
