In a pendulum, the kinetic energy is least when it is farthest up in its swing. At this point or maximum height, it has the maximum potential energy. Because at this point the pendulum also becomes motionless for a short duration, the kinetic energy is zero because the speed is zero.

∙ 9y agoA pendulum has the maximum kinetic energy when it has converted all its potential energy into kinetic energy. This occurs at the straight vertical position. The LEAST amount of kinetic energy occurs at two places: when it has just stopped to the left, or to the right, before beginning the downward swing. Mathematically, KE + PE = E
If PE = 0, KE is max. If KE = 0, PE = max. Since KE = 1/2mv2, and PE = mgh, mass is not relevant. The total energy is figured on the height from where the pendulum starts, and at that point, the velocity being zero, means the KE = 0.

In what state does a fixed amount of water have the least amount of kinetic energy?
Water has the least amount of kinetic energy as a solid.
Where does a pendulum swing fastest why?
This could be quantified using calculus, but to simply know WHERE it is fastest but not how fast, simple first principals are all that is required - that of conservation of energy. At the low point the pendulum has it's least Potential Energy (PE) - it has fallen as far as it can. As it rises it gains PE, gathering that energy by reducing the Kinetic Energy (energy of motion) of the mass. Clearly the pendulum is traveling fastest at the bottom.
The potential energy of a pendulum is least?
When it's at the bottom && it's 0
What are the four stages of matter in order from least kinetic energy to most kinetic energy?
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma - in that order.
Which orbital has the least amount of energy?
the innermost energy level has the least amount of energy
When does the pendulum have the largest amount of gravitational potential energy?
When it stops: at the top of its swing.Related Information:You know this because it has the least kinetic energy at this point, but the kinetic and potential energies have to add up.
In what state does a fixed amount of water have the least amount of kinetic energy?
Water has the least amount of kinetic energy as a solid.
When does a pendulum have the most momentum?
When the pendulum is at its lowest point, it has the least potential energy. Therefore, logically, due to conservation of energy, its kinetic energy is at its maximum. Therefore its speed is also at its maximum, as well as its momentum (velocity x mass).

Which phase of matter do particles have the most energy and the least energy?
Particles of matter have their least kinetic energy in the solid phase and their greatest kinetic energy in the gas phase.
When was kinetic energy discovered?
People have had an intuitive understanding of kinetic energy for at least as long as there have been people.

In what state of matter atoms move the slowest?
Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy. Solid, as they have the least amount of energy.
What is energy released from food before its eaten?
Before food is eaten it is chemical potential energy. After the food is consumed it becomes kinetic energy.
A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its kinetic energy minimum?
At the highest point, the kinetic energy is least.
What are the four stages of matter in order from least kinetic energy to most kinetic energy?
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma - in that order.
How does kinetic energy change with each state of matter?
When any substance goes from solid to liquid to gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.Molecules in the gaseous state have the most kinetic energy.Molecules in the solid state have the least kinetic energy.
