Mrs. Smith is teaching a science class. She holds a pendulum and pulls the ball at the end of the pendulum to position A. Then she lets it swing to position G.
The picture below shows the starting position A, the ending position G, and several positions in between the start and the end. The arrow shows the direction of motion.
Think about the motion of the pendulum as you answer the questions.
Question 1
a. At position A, describe the energy of the pendulum ball.(1 point)
