A Pendulum Bob Has Potential Energy U0 When Held Taut °\degree

Question 23

Multiple Choice

A pendulum bob has potential energy U0 when held taut in a horizontal position.The bob falls until it is 30 °\degree away from the horizontal position,when it has potential energy UA.It continues to fall until the string is vertical,when it has potential energy UB.Compare its potential energies at O,A,and B.  A pendulum bob has potential energy U<sub>0</sub> when held taut in a horizontal position.The bob falls until it is 30 \degree  away from the horizontal position,when it has potential energy U<sub>A</sub>.It continues to fall until the string is vertical,when it has potential energy U<sub>B</sub>.Compare its potential energies at O,A,and B.   A) U<sub>0</sub> = U<sub>A</sub> = U<sub>B</sub>. B) U<sub>A</sub>- U<sub>B</sub> = 2U<sub>0</sub>. C) U<sub>A</sub> - U<sub>B</sub> = U<sub>0</sub> - U<sub>A</sub>. D) U<sub>0</sub> = U<sub>B</sub> = 2U<sub>A</sub>. E) U<sub>0</sub> - U<sub>A</sub> = 2(U<sub>A</sub> -U<sub>B</sub>) .


A) U0 = UA = UB.
B) UA- UB = 2U0.
C) UA - UB = U0 - UA.
D) U0 = UB = 2UA.
E) U0 - UA = 2(UA -UB) .
