What energy occur as a pendulum swings?
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
What are the energy changes that occur during the refrigeration cycle?
i think thermal energy and radiant energyPeAcE
What energy changes occur when a falling rock hits the ground?
Kinetic Enegry
What energy changes occur in a microwave oven?
We find that in the microwave oven, electromagnetic energy (microwaves) are converted in thermal (heat) energy.
How does energy transfer occur?
by an interaction ccuring but depending on what the interaction is changes how it becomes transfered

What are the changes that occur in wave energy at headlands?
Laminar flow compession
Does energy changes while walking?
Energy changes while walking occur due to the center of mass. The effect of gravity changes has been studied during walking on a platform.

What is always involved when physical or chemical changes occur in matter?
Energy is ALWAYS invoved.
What energy changes occur when a photograph is taken?
As per my knowledge, when a photograph is taken there is a complex change of CHEMICAL energy to LIGHT energy ..... (Hope this helps you..)
