Step 1: Understand the Motion of a Pendulum
A simple pendulum moves along an arc, and its velocity varies depending on its position.
Step 2: Identify the Conditions for Velocity
The velocity of the pendulum is maximum at the lowest point (equilibrium position) and zero at the extreme positions (highest points).
Step 3: Finding Points with Equal Velocity
Since the pendulum swings symmetrically, it reaches the same velocity at two distinct points during its oscillation as it moves towards the left and then towards the right.
Step 4: Conclusion
Therefore, there are 2 points where the velocity of the pendulum is the same during its motion.
Therefore, the answer is 2.
