A pendulum is 0.850 m long, and the bob has a mass of 1.00 kg. At the bottom of its swing, the bob’s speed is 1.60 m/s.

A) What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing? in N

B)The tension is greater than the weight of the bob because

a- its horizontal component is increasing from zero.
 
b-the bob has a downward acceleration, so the net Fy must be downward.
 
c- the bob has an upward acceleration, so the net Fy must be upward.
 
d- the bob has zero acceleration.
