Without myelin, the internode membrane resistance decreases, preventing local currents from reaching adjacent nodes.

Myelin increases the membrane resistance of the axon section it surrounds, allowing local currents to travel between nodes, even though they are 1-2 mm apart. Removing myelin decreases the membrane resistance of internode regions. This shortens the distance that local currents travel because more charge now exits at the internode regions before it reaches the next node.

When pendulum stops has the kinetic energy changed to potential energy?

As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.
