Question
A pendulum is oscillating on either side of its rest position. The correct statement is:
Options
It has only the kinetic energy at its each position.
It has the maximum kinetic energy at its extreme position.
It has the maximum potential energy at its mean position.
The sum of its kinetic and potential energy remains constant throughout the motion.

Solution
The sum of its kinetic and potential energy remains constant throughout the motion.
Explanation:
In accordance with the law of conservation of mechanical energy, whenever there is an interchange between potential energy and kinetic energy, the total mechanical energy remains constant.

An automobile engine propels a 1000 kg car (A) along a levelled road at a speed of 36 km h–1. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is 100 N. Now, suppose after travelling a distance of 200 m, this car collides with another stationary car (B) of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now the car (B) starts moving on the same level road without getting its engine started. Find the speed of the car (B) just after the collision.
