When a pendulum is held high and taut and then is released, the pendulum begins to swing. what’s the correct order of the energy transformations

potential energy to kinetic energy

Explanation: when the pendulum was raised high, the energy given to it is potential energy. The higher tye pendulum was raised the more the potential energy.

So on release of the pendulum, the pendulum will swing from it state of rest since potential energy is the energy at rest and it will be converted to kinetic energy.

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.

they should be similar or the same
