Question

Choose the correct general statement concerning the total potential and kinetic energy at any point along the arc of swing. The total energy at any point along the arc of swing of the pendulum is always less than 12 Joules. The total energy at any point along the arc of swing of the pendulum is always more than 12 Joules. The total energy at any point along the arc of swing of the pendulum is always equal to 12 Joules. not enough information to determine

Answer 1

The total energy at any point along the arc of swing of a moving pendulum is always the same number.  What changes is how it's divided up between potential and kinetic energy.
