Simple Pendulum: Help with Displacement and Velocity at A,B,C

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the dynamics of a simple pendulum, specifically analyzing the displacement and velocity at points A, B, and C. At point A, the displacement is 0, while at point B, the displacement reaches its maximum. The velocity is 0 at point B and maximum at point A. Additionally, the acceleration is at its maximum when the pendulum is at maximum displacement (point B). The participants seek clarification on the graphical representation of velocity and acceleration over time.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of simple harmonic motion
  • Familiarity with pendulum dynamics
  • Knowledge of displacement, velocity, and acceleration concepts
  • Basic grasp of graphical representation of motion
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the equations of motion for simple pendulums
  • Explore graphical representations of velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time
  • Investigate the effects of small angle approximations on pendulum motion
  • Learn about energy conservation in simple harmonic motion
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and anyone interested in the mechanics of pendulum motion and its graphical analysis.

in this simple pendulum there are 3 points A,B,C , at point A the displacement is 0 , at point B the displacement is maximum and at point C what is the displacement??
also
When the Pendulum starts from maximum Displacement i.e point B , the velocity at point B would be 0, and at point A the velocity would be maximum , what would be the displacement at point C ?
also
When the pendulum is at point B (maximum displacement) will the acceleration is maximum ??

can anyone explain its graphical representation ?
Velocity vs time, Acceleration vs time.

Hi XuFyaN! :wink:

What do you think is the equation of motion (for small angles)? :smile:
