Simple pendulum oscillating between turning points.
Simple pendulum oscillating between turning points.
A simple pendulum consisting of a small bob suspended by an ideal light string is pulled aside to a small angle \(\theta_{\text{max}}\) and released from rest, executing simple harmonic motion. At the instant the bob reaches its maximum displacement (a turning point), which row in the table correctly classifies the magnitude of the bob's tangential acceleration and the kinetic energy of the bob?

Row AMinimumMaximum
Row BMinimumMinimum
Row CMaximumMinimum
Row DMaximumMaximum
