Question

Pendulum Lab

In a given experiment you measure the maximum kinetic energy of an object Kmax and the maximum potential energy Umax. The potential energy of the reference point is zero. You repeat the experiment using different conditions and acquire a set of values for these two quantities. Draw the expected graph of maximum potential and against maximum kinetic energy for this set of experiments.

I'm not entirely sure how to do this problem; would the graph just be energy vs time and have kinetic energy highest when potential is lowest and vice versa? Please explain thanks!

Answer 1

It must be noted that variation of kinetic energy and potential energy is plotted against displacement.
