PHY 101 Lab 5 Quiz Questions and Correct
Answers/ Latest Update / Already Graded
For small amplitude oscillations, when friction is not important, what
determines the period of the pendulum?
Ans: The length of the string only.
What type of energies should be considered in pendulum motion?
Ans: Kinetic and gravitational potential energy.
What values can the kinetic energy of the pendulum take?
Ans: It can take any positive value.
When is the maximum potential energy of the pendulum observed?
Ans: At the highest points of the swing.
The motion of the pendulum can be started by giving it an initial push,
and thus an initial speed at the equilibrium point (the lowest point).
What is the effect of increasing this initial speed on the maximum
elevation reached?
