Question

One end of a string is attached to an object of mass  M; When the object is raised to a position X that is a height H above its lowest point and released from rest, the object undergoes simple harmonic motion. When the object passes through the equilibrium position Y it has a speed of v.  Which of the following methods could a student use to determine the total mechanical energy at Position Y & why.  Select 2 answers.

A.ME = KE - PE because energy changes from KE to PE when the pendulum swings from X to Y

B.ME = PE - KE because energy changes from PE to KE when the pendulum swings from Y to X

C.ME = KE because this represents the maximum KE at Y as the system has 0 PE at Y

D.ME = PE because this equation represents the maximum PE at X if the system has zero PE at Y
