Theaccelerationisneverequaltozeroasitswingsbackandforth.
Theaccelerationiszerowhentheangleis0 .
Correct
Thependulumismovinginacircularpathsoitsvelocityisneverconstant.Infact,formostlocations,theaccelerationhasbotharadial
component(thecentripetalacceleration,whichisdirectedalongtherope)andatangentialcomponent(duetothespeedchanging,directedalong
thepaththeonlyplacethetangentialaccelerationiszeroiswhentheangleis0 ).
PartD
Withthependulumswingingbackandforth,howdoesthetensionoftheropecomparetotheforceofgravitywhentheangleis0 ?
Hint1.Howtoapproachtheproblem
Lookatthedirectionoftheaccelerationwhentheangleis0 (youcanslowdownorpausethesimulationtoseethismoreclearly),andthink
abouttherelationshipbetweenthenetforceactingonthependulumandtheacceleration(Newtons2ndlawofmotion).Itwouldprobablyhelpto
drawafreebodydiagramforthemass.
ANSWER:
Thetensionisgreaterthantheforceofgravityonlyifitisswingingreallyfast.
Thetensionisgreaterthantheforceofgravity.
Thetensionisequaltotheforceofgravity.
Thetensionislessthantheforceofgravity.
Correct
Sincetheaccelerationofthependulumisdirectedupwhentheangleis0 ,thenetforcemustbedirectedup(Newtons2ndlaw).Thismeans
thattheupwardforceoftensionmustbestrongerthanthedownwardforceofgravity.

Correct
Attheselocations,theaccelerationissolelyduetogravityanddirecteddownward.Thus,thenetforceactingonthependulumisalsodirected
downward,meaningtherearenohorizontalforces.Thisrequiresthetensiontobezero.
