Question

10 the figure represents a pendulums motion with the lowest point of its swing labeled point p. pivot p most of the pendulums gravitational potential energy is transformed into as it reached point p. momentum kinetic energy thermal energy

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

According to the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the pendulum swings down to the lowest - point P, its height decreases and speed increases. Gravitational potential energy ($U = mgh$) is converted into kinetic energy ($K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$). Momentum is a vector quantity related to mass and velocity but is not the form of energy into which potential energy is mainly converted here. Thermal energy is usually generated due to friction and is negligible in an ideal pendulum situation.

Answer:

Kinetic Energy
