Question

where does the pendulum have the maximum potential energy?
at the top of the swing
at the bottom of the swing
in between the top and the bottom of the swing
rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Potential energy (PE) in a pendulum is related to height (\(PE = mgh\), where \(m\) is mass, \(g\) is gravity, \(h\) is height). At the top of the swing, the pendulum has the maximum height relative to the bottom, so maximum PE. At the bottom, PE is minimum (kinetic energy is maximum). In - between, PE is less than at the top.

Answer:

A. At the top of the swing
