Answer:

The bottom/center of the pendulum

Explanation:

As it swings, the pendulum will have maximum potential energy at the top of its arc.

As it comes back towards the center that potential energy will convert into kinetic energy until it reaches the middle of its swing (when the pendulum is fully vertical) where all potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

This is when the kinetic energy is the highest

As it begins to move away from the center of its arc, that kinetic energy will convert into potential energy again, and the process repeats

VikaD [51]

penguins! so momentum is based on mass and velocity, the advantages is that they have stored mass in the form of like fats to keep them warm however they are built to slide basically so that there is less friction when they travel so sideways their bullet like shape helps increase velocity so they have both mass and considerable velocity!

A snowball is thrown with an initial x velocity of 7.5 m/s and an initial y velocity of 8.4 m/s . Part A How much time is requir

elena55 [62]

In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.

Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.

We know that Initial Y Velocity $V_{iy}$ = 8.4 m/s
