Kinetic and potential energy change for a pendulum as it moves through its arc. If the pendulum is a simple pendulum and there is no energy lost to heat, the kinetic energy will vary depending on the gravitational potential energy. As the gravitational potential energy increases the kinetic ener...
Potential energy, stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. For example, a steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth. Learn more about potential energy in thi
A pendulum swings back and forth, converting energy between potential and kinetic forms. At which point during its swing does the pendulum have the maximum potential energy and the minimum kinetic energy? A. At the lowest point in its swing. ...
The potential energy of an object also depends on its distance from the source of the field and the strength of the field. What are some examples of potential energy as a form of mass? Some common examples of potential energy as a form of mass include a book on a shelf, a pendulum ...

Energy is commonly defined as the capacity to do work. We will have a more comprehensive look at the topic and develop a full understanding of key terms.
the sum of the two, it always stays the same.Energy of a pendulumAt the highest point of the swing (S), kinetic energy is 0 and potential energy is its highest.At the lowest point on the swing (Q), potential energy is 0 and kinetic is its highest.Where is kinetic energy the most...
