when the bob of the pendulm is it's maxmum point then in which frame of reference does the bob/ball of the pendulm exists?because the one thing is that ball is stationary at top,on the other hand the acceleration of ball is maximun.
@phsicsboy,
This question doesn't make sense. Can you rephrase it?
In this type of Newtonian physics problem, any inertial reference frame is fair, but no one uses accelerated reference frames. The typical reference frame to use for a problem about a pendulum is the frame of the structure from which it is hung, usually stationary with respect to the Earth.
inertial reference frame is that in which ball is moving with constant velocity.and the other is accelerated reference frame.but stationary ball at the top has both properties.then what we call it?

The ball is accelerated, even if stationary.
Stumble It!
