Pendulum swinging with no air friction

1 pts
volume_mute

Imagine a pendulum with no air friction.  In this case, the pendulum will rise to its original height.  How does the potential energy at one end of the swing compare to the potential energy at the other end?

Explanation


Is potential energy conserved?

1 pts
volume_mute

In an example of a pendulum swinging with no air friction.  The pendulum will rise to its original height and potential energy at one end point is equal to the other end point.  Can we say that potential energy is conserved in this case?

Correct Answer

Explanation


Consider the pendulum that hits a shoe at the bottom of its motion

1 pts
volume_mute

The kinetic energy of the pendulum just before it hits the shoe is (1) the potential energy it lost in falling from the left end of its swing.

In fact, if we ignore air friction and if the shoe were not there, the potential energy attained on the right end of the swing would be equal to the kinetic energy at the bottom.  Now consider the effect of friction, and compare the potential energy at the right end of the swing to the potential energy originally at the left.

  • If friction is present, how will the potential energy at the right compare to that on the left? (2)
