Pendulums When does this pendulum have only potential energy? When does it have only kinetic energy?
Pendulums The energy switches back and forth between these two types of mechanical energy but TOTAL mechanical energy always stays constant
This short video gives an overview of Law of Conservation of Energy related to pendulums Video Recap
