Q.

For a simple pendulum, having time period T, the variation of kinetic energy (K.E) with time (t) is represented by :

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D
Solution

The kinetic energy of a simple pendulum is

(when oscillation starts from the extreme position).

Since K.E is proportional to , it is always non-negative and touches zero at the extreme positions (), giving two positive humps per period. This matches option (4).
