Is in a pendulum at the top of a swing chemical energy?
No, it is not a chemical form of energy.
How is energy converted as a pendulum swing?
From potential to kinetic and back again - with every swing.
Why does a ideal pendulum swing back and forth indefinitely?
An ideal pendulum is one in which no air resistance or friction is present. Hence when set into motion it never loses energy to it's surrondings. So when released, and left to swing, the energy potential it had get's convertedinto kinetic energy and therefore the pendulum swings. When it reaches it's amplitude(Highest swing) the energy is converted back to potential, and as it falls back to kinetic. As it is "ideal" it never loses energy to heat/ friction. Therefore, the conversion of kinetic energy to potential etc etc will always be constant and it will never stop. Although in reality it is impossible to have an "ideal" pendulum, near ideal ones can be obtained by suspending the pendulum in a vacuum.
A swinging pendulum demonstrates which type of energy?
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.
When you were holding the pendulum at the far end what kind of energy does it possess?
At this point, at the top of the swing, the pendulum has potential energy. As it drops it loses potential and gains kinetic energy. At the fastest point, as the pendulum reached the bottom of the swing, it has kinetic energy. It then loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it swings up to the other side.
When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing the energy within the pendulum is ofwhat sort?
Potential energy
A certain pendulum has a potential energy of 20 J when it is at the top of its swing. What is the kinetic energy?
If at the top of the swing the pendulum is STOPPED then it has zero kinetic energy.
What happen to simple pendulum at lowest point of its swing?
At the low point of a swinging pendulum, the type of energy being demonstrated is maximum kinetic energy. It has zero potential energy at this point of the swing.

A pendulum is designed to transfer potiential gravitational energy into?
A pendulum transfers potential gravitational energy (at the top of its swing) to kinetic energy (movement at the bottom of the swing) and then back again (at the top on the other side).

Investigate whether a simple pendulum will swing continuously in air.Explain your finding?
A simple pendulum will definitely not swing continuously in air. The pendulum would lose energy to its surroundings in overcoming air resistance.
A pendulum is designed to transfer potential gravitational energy into what?
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

At the fastest point, as the pendulum reached the bottom of the swing, it has kinetic energy. It then loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it swings up to the other side.
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.
