A pendulum bob of mass 2kg is given a horizontal velocity v0 at the bottom to just complete a vertical circle of radius

At top, v=gL, energy at bottom = energy at top. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to √75 m/s = 5√3 m/s ≈ 8.66 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.

A 0.6kg pendulum bob completes a vertical circle of radius 1.2m. What is the speed at the top? (Take g\=10m/s2)

At top, minimum speed vC=gL=10×1.2=12≈3.46m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 3 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.

A pendulum bob of 1kg completes a vertical circle of radius 2m with minimum speed at the bottom. What is the speed at th

At top, minimum speed vC=gL=10×2=20≈4.47m/s. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 4 m/s as the result, so option A is correct.
