The answer is 0.025J.
W=1/2*k*x^2
W=1/2*20*0.050^2
W=0.025J
Do they give answer choices? or is it free write? i’ll help if you tell me!!
Given data
*The given mass of the pendulum is m = 3 kg
*The given height is h = 0.3 m
The formula for the maximum speed of the pendulum is given as
![v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{2gh}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_%7B%5Cmax%20%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B2gh%7D)
*Here g is the acceleration due to the gravity
Substitute the values in the above expression as
![\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{2\times9.8\times0.3} \\ =2.42\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20v_%7B%5Cmax%20%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B2%5Ctimes9.8%5Ctimes0.3%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D2.42%5Ctext%7B%20m%2Fs%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Hence, the maximum speed of the pendulum is 2.42 m/s
Explanation:
angular velocity is given by


w = 0.626
now tangential velocity is
V = rw
= 25 x 0.626
= 15.65 m/s
