Question

A pendulum is 0.890 m long, and the bob has a mass of 1.00 kg. At the bottom of its swing, the bob’s speed is 1.60 m/s.

a. What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing? answer in N

b. The tension is greater than the weight of the bob because of which of the following?

its horizontal component is increasing from zero.

the bob has zero acceleration.

the bob has a downward acceleration, so the net Fy must be downward.

the bob has an upward acceleration, so the net Fy must be upward.
