When we swing a pendulam, it swings back and forth but eventually it stops. This is due friction with air. It is also because the kinetic energy released by the pendulam is dissipated into the air.

If you make a pendulum in the real world, eventually it will stop swinging. Using the law of conservation of energy, explain what happened to its energy and why it stopped.

The diagram shows a swinging pendulum. Which best explains what happens to the motion of the pendulum? A. The mechanical energy transforms to thermal energy as the pendulum slows and eventually stops moving.
