Can anyone explain the conversion of K.E and P.E during compression and expansion of spring and during the motion of pendulum ?
Yes .. i know that. I just want you to explain the interconversion of K.E and P.E as pendulum moves to and fro ,CWatters said:Start with the pendulum. Which bit don't you understand? Do you know what PE and KE are?
The total energy of a pendulum or spring is the sum of its kinetic energy (K.E.) and potential energy (P.E.). As the pendulum or spring moves, energy is constantly transferred between K.E. and P.E. For example, at the highest point of a pendulum swing, all of its energy is in the form of P.E. and at the lowest point, all of its energy is in the form of K.E.
The mass of a pendulum or spring does not affect its potential energy, but it does affect its kinetic energy. The greater the mass, the greater the kinetic energy, and vice versa. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass.
The length or compression of a spring affects its potential energy, but not its kinetic energy. As the length or compression increases, the potential energy also increases, and vice versa. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the length or compression of a spring.
Yes, a pendulum or spring can have both K.E. and P.E. at the same time. This is because energy is constantly being transferred between the two forms as the pendulum or spring moves. For example, at any point during a pendulum's swing, it will have some amount of both K.E. and P.E.
The amplitude of a pendulum or spring does not affect its potential energy, but it does affect its kinetic energy. The greater the amplitude, the greater the kinetic energy, and vice versa. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.
