A5.00 kg pendulum swings back and forth. at the top of its arc, it reaches a height of 0.36 m. what is the velocity of the pendulum at the bottom of the arc?
0m/s
2.7m/s
7.2m/s

Tools we'll use:

--     Gravitational potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

--     Kinetic energy (of a moving object) = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

When the pendulum is at the top of its swing,
its potential energy is

                             (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                         =  (5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.36 m)

                         =      (5 x 9.8 x 0.36)        joules

                         =            17.64 joules .

Energy is conserved ... it doesn't appear or disappear ...
so that number is exactly the kinetic energy the pendulum
has at the bottom of the swing, only now, it's kinetic energy:

                   17.64 joules  =  (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                   17.64 joules  =  (1/2) x (5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by 2.5 kg:

                   17.64 joules / 2.5 kg  =  speed²

Write out the units of joules:

                   17.64 kg-m²/s²  /  2.5 kg  =  speed²

                   (17.64 / 2.5) (m²/s²)  =  speed²

                       7.056 m²/s²  =  speed²

Take the square root
of each side:              Speed = √(7.056 m²/s²)

                                           =    2.656 m/s .

Looking through the choices, we're overjoyed to see
that one if them is  ' 2.7 m/s '.  Surely that's IT !


Note:
The question asked for the pendulum's 'velocity', but our (my) calculation
only yielded the speed.

In order to describe a velocity, the direction of the motion must be known,
and the question doesn't give any information on exactly how the pendulum
is hanging, and how it's swinging. 

We know that at the bottom of its swing, the motion is completely horizontal,
but we have no clue as to what direction.  So all we can discuss is its speed.

  sequence  is a continuous and distinctive band of  stars  that appears on plots of stellar  color  versus  brightness. these color-magnitude plots are known as  hertzsprung–russell diagramsafter their co-developers,  ejnar hertzsprungand  henry norris russell. stars on this band are known as  main-sequence stars  or  dwarf stars. these are the most numerous true stars in the universe, and include the earth's  sun.after condensation and ignition of a star, it generates  thermal energy  in its dense core region through  nuclear fusion  of  hydrogen  into  helium. during this stage of the star's lifetime, it is located on the main sequence at a position determined primarily by its mass, but also based upon its chemical composition and age. the cores of main-sequence stars are in  hydrostatic equilibrium, where outward thermal pressure from the hot core is balanced by the inward pressure of  gravitational collapse  from the overlying layers. the strong dependence of the rate of energy generation on temperature and pressure to sustain this balance. energy generated at the core makes its way to the surface and is radiated away at the  photosphere. the energy is carried by either  radiation  or  convection, with the latter occurring in regions with steeper temperature gradients, higher opacity or both.the main sequence is sometimes divided into upper and lower parts, based on the dominant process that a star uses to generate energy. stars below about 1.5 times the  mass of the sun  (1.5  m☉) primarily fuse hydrogen atoms together in a series of stages to form helium, a sequence called the  proton–proton chain. above this mass, in the upper main sequence, the nuclear fusion process mainly uses atoms of  carbon,  nitrogen  and  oxygen  as intermediaries in the  cno cycle  that produces helium from hydrogen atoms. main-sequence stars with more than two solar masses undergo convection in their core regions, which acts to stir up the newly created helium and maintain the proportion of fuel needed for fusion to occur. below this mass, stars have cores that are entirely radiative with convective zones near the surface. with decreasing stellar mass, the proportion of the star forming a convective envelope steadily increases. main-sequence stars below 0.4  m☉undergo convection throughout their mass. when core convection does not occur, a helium-rich core develops surrounded by an outer layer of hydrogen.in general, the more massive a star is, the shorter its lifespan on the main sequence. after the hydrogen fuel at the core has been consumed, the star  evolves  away from the main sequence on the hr diagram, into a  supergiant,  red giant, or directly to a  white dwarf.
