How many joules of kinetic energy does the pendulum have when it has 50 J of potential energy?

We do not have the information of the pendulum, so i will answer in a general way.

First, as you know, the total energy can be written as:

E = U + K

Where:

U = potential energy

K = kinetic energy.

Now, by the conservation of energy, we know that E does not change.

This means that if U increases an amount x, then K must decrease by the same amount.

Now, at the maximum height of the pendulum, the velocity is zero, this means that in this point the kinetic energy is 0j.

E = 0 + U

E = U.

Another thing that you may know about pendulums is that, if the initial displacement is by an angle θ, then the angle between the string and the vertical can never be more than θ.

And we know that:

U = m*g*h

in this case, we can write h, the maximum height, as:

h = L*(1 - cos(θ))

Where:

L is the length of the string, g is the gravitational acceleration and m is the mass of the pendulum.

Then the total energy of the pendulum is:

E = m*g*L*(1 - cos(θ))

And we had that:

E = K + U = m*g*L*(1 - cos(θ))

Then, if in a given point we have U = 50j, the kinetic energy must be:

K + 50j = m*g*L*(1 - cos(θ))

K = m*g*L*(1 - cos(θ)) - 50j

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.

not copied too! hope this !

joke:

h o h o hope you have a merry christmas!

i believe the answer is a hope it and is correct
