At the start of a swing the pendulum has lots of potential energy but no kinetic energy.
As it moves downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. In the upswing the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy. Some of the energy is converted into heat by friction which is why the pendulum slows down.

What is a granum'?
A granum is a stack of thylakoid discs in the chloroplast of plant cells where photosynthesis takes place. It is the site where light energy is converted into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Is information a proper noun?
No, the word 'informative' is NOT a noun.The word 'informative' is an adjective, a word used to describe a noun.The noun form of the adjective 'informative' is informativeness, a common noun as a general word for the quality of providing knowledge or information.
Why do plants and animals belong to two different kingdoms?
The main difference is that the plant kingdom has cell walls, and the animal kingdom doesn't. Plants use photosynthesis to create energy from sunlight, while animals use metabolism to create energy from food.
Which 2 kingdoms cannot move from place to place?
The two kingdoms that cannot move from place to place are Plantae and Fungi. Plantae includes plants such as trees and shrubs that are rooted in soil, while Fungi, such as mushrooms and molds, grow on surfaces but do not have the ability to move.
Why does a solid keep its shape?
The energy the particles contain is not enough to break the intermolecular or interatomic forces holding the solid in its place. They can vibrate to a certain degree, but cannot move freely like a liquid or gas.
What energy conversions take place in a pendulum Why does the pendulum eventually stop?
In a pendulum, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it swings back and forth. Friction and air resistance gradually dissipate the kinetic energy, causing the pendulum to eventually stop swinging.
What energy does a swinging pendulum come from?

What energy conversions take place in a solar powered illuminator?
the conversions are solar to chemical to light to heat
What energy conversions that take place when you ride in a car?
Electrical, Thermal, and Sound Energy.
Energy conversions take place inside your what?
Energy conversions take place inside your body's cells, specifically in the mitochondria, where food molecules are broken down to release energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is then used to power various cellular processes and activities.
Describe the energy conversions taking place of a clothes dryer?
its a kind of electric machine it works by electric power
What are the energy conversions which takes place in such power stations using fuels to generate electricity?
Chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
What energy conversions that take place of a rubber powered aeroplane to fly?
Potential to kinetic to electric energy conversion takes place when a rubber powered aeroplane flies.
How does your body get the energy that it needs to do all of his daily activities describe the energy conversions that take place?
Your body obtains energy from the food you eat. Through the process of digestion, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down into smaller molecules such as glucose. These molecules are then converted into ATP through cellular respiration, where energy is released and used by your body for various activities.
Why does a swinging pendulum lose energy once it is set into motion?
When a pendulum is released to fall, it changes from Potential energy to Kinetic Energy of a moving object. However, due to friction (ie: air resistance, and the pivot point) and gravity the pendulum's swing will slowly die down. A pendulum gets its kinetic energy from gravity on its fall its equilibrium position which is the lowest point to the ground it can fall, however, even in perfect conditions (a condition with no friction) it can never achieve a swing (amplitude) greater than or equal to its previous swing. Every swing that the pendulum makes, it gradually looses energy or else it would continue to swing for eternity without stopping. Extra: Using special metals that react little to temperature, finding a near mass-less rod to swing the bob (the weight) and placing the pendulum in a vacuum has yielded some very long lasting pendulums. While the pendulum will lose energy with every swing, under good conditions the amount of energy that the pendulum loses can be kept relatively small. Some of the best pendulum clocks can swing well over a million times.
What are the main energy conversions taking place in lighting a torch using a battery?
The main energy conversion is from chemical energy stored in the battery to electrical energy. The electrical energy powers the light bulb to produce light and heat energy.
What is fiction how does it affect the swing of a pendulum?
A swinging pendulum follows a simple physical path that is described as simple harmonic motion. A frictionless pendulum would swing forever. Friction generates heat which radiates away energy from the system. Therefore friction will cause the pendulum to slow and stop as all the energy gets removed from the S.H.M. If you rig up a way to replace the lost energy, then the pendulum will continue to swing. This is the method used in a pendulum clock. The energy put into the wind up spring will replace the energy lost due to friction until the spring winds down. The key point is "energy is conserved" which means you cannot create or destroy it. You can only move it from one place to another or convert it into something else.
