When a pendulum swings, at which point is potential energy at its greatest?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 1 and 5

Why does an object hit the ground with more force when it starts from a higher point

• because it has less gravitational potential energy

• because it has the same gravitational potential energy

• because it has more gravitational potential energy

• It does not have more force when dropped from a higher point
