What happens to potential and kinetic energy as a pendulum swings from its highest to lowest position?

Back

Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases.

At which point in a pendulum's swing is kinetic energy the highest?

Back

At the lowest point (Point 3).

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

How is gravitational potential energy calculated?

Back

Gravitational potential energy = mass × gravity × height.

Front

What happens to the total mechanical energy in a closed system?

Back

It remains constant (conservation of energy).
