When a pendulum swings, at which point is kinetic energy highest?

Back

At the lowest point of the swing.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Energy of motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Stored energy based on position or condition.

Front

How is kinetic energy calculated?

Back

Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases.
