To find a particle's maximum speed in a potential energy diagram, you need to locate the point in the diagram where the potential energy curve is at its lowest. The maximum speed of the particle at that point is determined by the total mechanical energy it possesses, which is the sum of its kinetic and potential energies. At the point where the potential energy is lowest, the kinetic energy is at its maximum, indicating the particle's maximum speed.
At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy since it is at its highest position. The pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing since it is moving with the highest velocity at this point.
The maximum energy conversion from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy occurs when all of the initial potential energy of the mass is converted to kinetic energy. This means that the maximum amount of energy the mass can change from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy is equal to the initial potential energy of the mass.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
Electrical energy is related to the kinetic and potential energy of particles in a system through the movement and interactions of charged particles. When electrical energy is applied to a system, it can cause the particles to move, increasing their kinetic energy. Additionally, the electric field created by the electrical energy can store potential energy within the system's particles.
When a pendulum bob has a maximum kinetic energy, all of the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. Therefore, the potential energy of the pendulum bob is zero at that point.
At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy since it is at its highest position. The pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing since it is moving with the highest velocity at this point.

High Potential Energy
The potential energy of the reactants is greater than the potential energy of the products.
In microscopic particles it's called internal energy. In macroscopic particles it's called thermodynamic energy.
The potential energy of the products is greater than the potential energy of the reactants.
The energy a particle possesses due to its position relative to other charged particles is referred to as potential energy. This energy is stored in the system and is related to the charges and distances between the particles. As particles move and interact, this potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy.
The internal energy of a material includes both the kinetic and potential energy of particles. Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of particles, while potential energy is associated with the interactions between particles, such as chemical bonds or intermolecular forces.

This question makes sense in the context of something like a pendulum. At the top of its swing, a pendulum is at maximum height, is not moving and so has zero kinetic energy, and has maximum potential energy since all its energy is potential. As it falls, it gradually moves with increasing speed, so its potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy. At the bottom of the swing, it is moving at maximum speed, and all its energy is kinetic, none is potential, Then it starts to move upwards again, and its kinetic energy is gradually converted back to potential energy.
The potential energy of particles in an object comes from the arrangement or configuration of these particles within the object. This energy is related to the forces of attraction and repulsion between particles, as well as the interactions between particles and their surroundings. As particles move within the object, their potential energy can change based on their position and the forces acting on them.
