Mrs. Smith is teaching a science class. She holds a pendulum and pulls the ball at the end of the pendulum to position A. Then she lets it swing to position G. The picture below shows the starting position A, the ending position G, and several positions in between the start and the end. The arrow shows the direction of motion.
At position A, describe the energy of the pendulum ball.(1 point) Responses Kinetic energy and potential energy are both at their lowest values. Kinetic energy and potential energy are both at their lowest values. Kinetic energy is at its highest value, while potential energy is at its lowest value. Kinetic energy is at its highest value, while potential energy is at its lowest value. Potential energy and kinetic energy are both at their highest values. Potential energy and kinetic energy are both at their highest values. Potential energy is at its highest value, while kinetic energy is at its lowest value.
Kinetic energy is at its highest value, while potential energy is at its lowest value.
Drag the terms (listed below the paragraph) into the blanks in order to correctly complete the paragraph. You will use the terms more than one time each. (2 points) Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse. At positions B and C, ___ is decreasing and ___ is increasing. At positions E and F, ___ is decreasing and __ is increasing.
At positions B and C, potential energy is decreasing and kinetic energy is increasing. At positions E and F, kinetic energy is decreasing and potential energy is increasing.
At position A, the energy of the pendulum ball is as follows:
Kinetic energy is at its lowest value.
Potential energy is at its highest value.
At position A, the energy of the pendulum ball can be described as follows:
The ball is at its lowest point, so its height from the ground is minimal, which means the potential energy is also at its lowest value. At the same time, the ball is moving at its maximum speed as it swings through the lowest point, which indicates that the kinetic energy is at its highest value.
Therefore, the correct response is: Kinetic energy is at its highest value, while potential energy is at its lowest value.
