When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing' the energy within the pendulum is of what sort?

If the potential energy of a swing is 200 J at its highest point and 50 J at its lowest point what is the kinetic energy of the swing at its lowest point if mechanical energy is conserved?
150J, as the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy as the swing accelerates downwards (and forwards) from the top of its swing. Therefore the decrease in potential energy corresponds directly to the increase in kinetic energy if we are ignoring things like friction. So KE = 200-50= 150
How does the motion of a swing illustrates the transformation between potential and kinetic energy?
When the swing reaches its two highest points, its kinetic energy is zero because it is not moving momentarily, and its potential energy is at its maximum. As the swing moves away from its two highest points, in other words, swings, its potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases.
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.
What situation does not involve Potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?
1) Kinetic energy being turned back into potential energy. Look at a child on a swing. As the swing lowers (and they speed up), that's potential to kinetic. As the swing reaches its peak and stops, that kinetic to potential. 2) Burning is chemical energy being turned into heat and light. 3) In the Sun, nuclear fusion releases energy into heat and light.
Where is the potential and kinetic energy in a pendulum?
The maximum potential energy is at the top of each swing and is at its minimum at the bottom of the swing when it is perpendicular to a horizontal surface. The maximum kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing, and is at its minimum at the top of each swing. Please refer to the related link below for an illustration.

Potential 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.
Is a riders highest point on a swing a potential energy or kinetic energy?
At the highest point it's potential energy, which is then completely converted to kinetic energy as the swing travels through its lowest point at maximum speed. With an ideal swing (no friction) the sum of potential and kinetic energy stays constant (it is 'conserved'). In practice it dies away as the swing slows down, but Conservation of Energy is an important principle in science.

What is the energy of a playground swing at its highest point?
As the swing moves, potential energy changes into kinetic energy. At the highest position all energy is gravitational potential energy as the swing has stopped at its highest position. Then the energy is converted back to kinetic energy, KE as it descends.

Is a playground swing a kinetic or a potential form of energy?
both, i just had this in phisics class so i can explain: at its top point a swing has potential energy -> it has the potential to let go that energy and move when its down it has kinetic energy when between those points is has energy in the way of movement
