Consider the diagram of a pendulum's motion shown above. A pendulum can be used to model the change from potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy. Locate the place in the diagram where kinetic energy is the greatest.

D Both points A and C

Answer 1

In the motion of a pendulum, the kinetic energy is greatest at the lowest point of the swing, where the pendulum moves the fastest. This is typically at the midpoint of the swing, which is often represented as point B in a diagram of a pendulum's motion.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B point B
