Question

Illustrate the law of conservation of energy
by discussing the energy changes which
occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one
side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the
bob eventually come to rest? What happens
to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of
the law of conservation of energy?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A pendulum is a body which hangs from a fixed point and shows back and forth motion. Hence, the law of conservation of energy is not violated in case of a simple pendulum since the energy is always conserved. During each oscillation, some energy gets transferred to the air due to overcome air friction
