Interchange between Kinetic and Potential Energy
 

Interchange between Kinetic and Potential Energy problem 3


The amplitude of a simple pendulum is reduced to half of the original value after 1 minute of oscillation.

  • What percent of the initial amplitude is the amplitude of the pendulum after two minutes?

  • What percent of the total initial energy is converted to internal energy after 2 oscillations?

  • If the simple pendulum consists of a 70 cm long thread and a body of mass 1 kg. By how much does the natural frequency decrease due to damping? Express the result to exactly 3 decimal places.
