A simple pendulum consists of a sphere tied to the end of a string of negligible mass. The sphere is pulled back until the string is horizontal and then released from rest. Assume gravitational potential energy is zero when the sphere is at its lowest point. What angle will the string make with the horizontal when the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the sphere-Earth system are equal? Greater than 45°
Equal to 45°
Less than 45°
It cannot be determined without knowing the mass of the sphere.
