A pendulum is oscillating on either side of its rest position. The correct statement is :
- It has only the kinetic energy at its each position.
- It has the maximum kinetic energy at its extreme position.
- It has the maximum potential energy at its mean position.
- The sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy remains constant throughout the motion.
A simple pendulum while oscillating rises to a maximum vertical height of 7 cm from its rest position where it reaches its extreme position on one side. The mass of the bob of simple pendulum is 400 g and g = 10 m/s2. The total energy of the simple pendulum at any instant while oscillating is:
- 0.28 J
- 2.8 J
- 28 J
- 28000 J
