A pendulum is made from a 7.50-kilogram mass attached to a rope connected to the ceiling of a gymnasium. The mass is pushed to the side until it is at position A, 1.5 meters higher than its equilibrium position. After it is released from rest at position A, the pendulum moves freely back and forth between positions A and B, as shown in the diagram below. What is the total amount of kinetic energy that the mass has as it swings freely through its equilibrium position? [Neglect
friction.]
920 J
94 J
11 J
110 J
