When an object in simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement, its <u>acceleration</u> is also at a maximum.
<u><em>Reason</em></u><em>: The speed is zero when the simple harmonic motion is at its maximum displacement, however, the acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The velocity reverses the direction at that point therefore its rate of change is maximum at that moment. thus the acceleration is at its maximum at this point</em>

According to KE = (3/2)kT
reducing temperature, in KELVIN, by half, average KE is reduced by half.
Answer:
52.47706 mph
54.5 mph
Explanation:
The average speed is given by
Julie's average speed on the way to Grandmother's house is 52.47706 mph
Average speed on the return trip is 54.5 mph
The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing is also 918 J.
Assume the origin of the coordinate system to be at the lowest point of the pendulum's swing. A pendulum, when raised to the highest point has potential energy since it is raised to a height h above the origin. At the highest point, the pendulum's velocity becomes zero, hence it has no kinetic energy. Its energy at the highest point is wholly potential.
When the pendulum swings down from its highest position, it gains velocity. Hence a part of its potential energy begins to convert itself into kinetic energy. If no dissipative forces such as air resistance exist, then, the law of conservation of energy can be applied to the swing.
Under the action of conservative forces, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant.This means that the sum of the potential and kinetic energies of a body remains constant.
When the pendulum reaches the lowest point of its swing, it is at the origin of the chosen coordinate system. Its vertical displacement from the origin is zero, hence its potential energy with respect to the origin is zero. Therefore the entire potential energy of 918 J should have been converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy.
Thus, the kinetic energy of the pendulum at the lowest point of its swing is equal to the potential energy it had at its highest point, which is equal to <u>918 J.</u>
