As the pendulum swings freely, what is happening to its energy? KE converts to PE as it falls, and then PE converts to KE as it rises KE converts to PE as it falls, and then PE converts to KE as it rises PE converts to KE, and then total energy becomes zero PE converts to KE, and then total energy becomes zero PE converts to KE as it falls, and then KE converts to PE as it rises PE converts to KE as it falls, and then KE converts to PE as it rises KE converts to PE, and then total energy becomes zero

When are kinetic energy and potential energy equal in magnitude (equal in amount)?

They are equal at the top position. They are equal at the top position. They are equal at every position. They are equal at every position. They are equal half-way between the top position and the bottom position. They are equal half-way between the top position and the bottom position. They are equal at the bottom position.
