When does a pendulum have the maximum potential energy?

• At the bottom of the swing, because it is moving the fastest.

• At the highest point on either side, because it is momentarily at rest.

• At the midpoint of the swing, because it is halfway through its motion.

• At the starting point, because it has not yet started moving.

What is the first step in the process of a hot air balloon inflating?

• Thermal energy will cause hydrogen in the air to change to helium.

• Thermal energy will move from the heat source to the surrounding cooler air.

• The thermal energy will sink and cause the balloon to inflate.

• This causes a conduction current and the balloon will rise.
