Background and context
In a pendulum, there is a conservation of mechanical energy. Potential and kinetic energy are combined to form mechanical energy. A continual interchange of potential and kinetic energy occurs during the swinging of a pendulum. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object at a certain elevation, whereas kinetic energy is the energy stored in an object while it is moving.
