At the bottom of it's swing. This is because it has accelerated to it's peak velocity due to gravity.
When it is moving fastest. This happens when it is at its lowest point.
The pendulum has maximum kinetic energy when the blob of the pendulum is at the mean position . Here, i am considering the case when the blob of the pendulum is moving.
when its potential energy is greatest
When totally vertical
No, the swing of the pendulum will never carry it back quite as high as it was when it started. The pendulum must work against air resistance, and so a little bit of momentum is lost with every swing. Even if the pendulum operated in a vacuum, there would still be some tiny amount of friction at the point where the pendulum is attached to its frame. The swing of a pendulum is never 100% efficient. So the pendulum will run down.
The shorter the pendulum the more swings you get.
A heavier pendulum will swing longer due to its greater inertia.
The pull of earth's gravity causes the motion on the downswing, while momentum keeps it going on the upswing.
how is pendulum swing related to teaching process?

A simple pendulum.
If the pendulum was pushed with a large force or if it was heavier. It might swing faster.
The acceleration of a pendulum is zero at the lowest point of its swing.
