Question

The diagram shows a swinging pendulum. Which best explains what happens to the motion of the pendulum?


The mechanical energy transforms to thermal energy as the pendulum slows and eventually stops moving.

The mechanical energy disappears as the pendulum slows and eventually stops moving.

The pendulum will continue moving at the same speed until someone stops it because energy cannot be destroyed.

The pendulum will slow down but will never stop moving because energy cannot be destroyed.
