A swinging pendulum demonstrates primarily two types of energy - kinetic energy when the pendulum is in motion, and potential energy - based on how high it is above the mid-point of the swing. If not for friction, a pendulum would continue to swing forever, with the sum of the kinetic and potential energy remaining constant but the distribution between the two constantly changing as the pendulum moved through its swings.
Yes. If you take a pendulum and set it swinging it's friction of the pendulum against the air, and internal friction in the line that will eventually slow the pendulum down.
swinging pendulum has potential energy at each end of it's travel (when it stops momentarily) This energy is converted to kinetic energy as it swings down and back to potential energy as it swings up the other way. Hope this helps you . If the pendulum is long enough it can use the relative motion of the earth's rotation to store just enough energy to maintain a continuous swing.
A pendulum swings back and forth with a period based on its length. When it is pointing directly down, moving horizontally with maximum speed, there is no potential energy; all the energy is kinetic. When it is maximally away from this position it has stopped and so has no kinetic energy; all the energy is potential. Thus at any one time there is the same amount of energy in a swinging pendulum but depending on where it is in its arc of motion there will be different amounts of kinetic and potential energy.

That is the correct spelling of the word "swinging" (pendulum-like motion).
The period or frequency of the pendulum
Rose's cuckoo clock demonstrates the principle of a pendulum's need to be reset periodically to maintain its motion. This is in line with the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred or transformed. The clock's reliance on the pendulum's swinging motion for power exemplifies the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy, allowing the clock to function.

kinetic energy, the energy of motion can be seen because something will be moving: a planet orbiting its star, a rock rolling down a hill, an automobile speeding down the road, a rotating top, a swinging pendulum, ...
The kinetic energy of the end of a pendulum when it halfway in its motion
When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy
Small: This is to ensure that the motion of the pendulum mostly stays along one direction, i.e. it is swinging back and forth as opposed to rotating or moving erratically. Only when the pendulum is moving in this manner can you say that it follows SHM - Simple Harmonic Motion (If that is the aim of the experiment)
