Q. With reference to a swinging pendulum, which among the following statements is correct when it is at bottom (middle of arc)?
✅ Correct Answer: (A)
It has maximum kinetic energy and minimum potential energy
Explanation: At the lowest point of its motion of swinging pendulum, kinetic energy is maximum and gravitational potential energy is minimum. At the highest point of its motion, kinetic energy is minimum and gravitational potential energy is maximum.
