What energy goes in and out of a pendulum?
In a pendulum, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the pendulum swings back and forth. When the pendulum reaches the highest point in its swing, it has maximum potential energy; as it moves downward, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the lowest point, the pendulum has maximum kinetic energy. This energy conversion continues throughout the pendulum's motion.
What energy occur as a pendulum swings?
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)
On the diagram of the moving pendulum label the places where the pendulum has maximum potential energy and work to maximum get Kinetic Energy?
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.
Where is the maximum potential energy of a pendulum?
The maximum potential energy of a pendulum is at its highest point, which is when the pendulum is at its maximum height. At this point, the potential energy stored in the system is at its greatest before it is converted into kinetic energy as the pendulum swings down.
What energy transformations happen with a pendulum?
A pendulum undergoes potential energy to kinetic energy conversion as it swings back and forth. At the highest point, the pendulum has maximum potential energy, while at the lowest point, it has maximum kinetic energy. Energy is conserved in this oscillation process.

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.
When a pendulum is at the center position what is true of the kinetic and potential energy?
If a pendulum is at its center position, then there are two possibilities: 1). It may be swinging. Then its kinetic energy is maximum and its potential energy is zero. 2). It may be stopped altogether. Then it has no energy at all.

When does a pendulum attain maximum velocity?
A pendulum attains maximum velocity at the lowest point of its swing, when its potential energy is at a minimum and its kinetic energy is at a maximum.
Where is the potential energy in a pendulum?
A pendulum swings back and forth with a period based on its length. When it is pointing directly down, moving horizontally with maximum speed, there is no potential energy; all the energy is kinetic. When it is maximally away from this position it has stopped and so has no kinetic energy; all the energy is potential. Thus at any one time there is the same amount of energy in a swinging pendulum but depending on where it is in its arc of motion there will be different amounts of kinetic and potential energy.
Describe the energy conversions that take place in the pendulum?
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.
Why is the kinetic energy the highest at point b in a pendulum?
Kinetic energy is highest at point b in a pendulum because this is the lowest point in the swing where the velocity of the pendulum bob is highest due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as the pendulum falls. At the highest point, the potential energy is at its maximum and kinetic energy is at its minimum.
As a pendulum swings energy is continuosly transformed between kinetic energy and?
potential energy. At the highest point of the swing, the energy is in the form of potential energy as it reaches its maximum height. As the pendulum swings back down, this potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, reaching its maximum at the lowest point of the swing.
