Question 22

A pendulum is set swinging in a room. Each swing is smaller than the previous swing until the pendulum stops. What happens to most of the energy transferred away from the pendulum's kinetic and gravitational potential stores as the swings become smaller?

[1]
A

it increases the thermal store of the pendulum but not of the surroundings

B

it increases the thermal stores of the pendulum and the surroundings

C

it remains in the gravitational potential store of the stationary pendulum

D

it remains in the kinetic store of the air within the room
