At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy since it is at its highest position. The pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing since it is moving with the highest velocity at this point.
A pendulum has the most momentum at the lowest point of its swing, where it is moving fastest, due to the combined effect of its velocity and mass.
An extreme point on a pendulum swing is the highest or lowest point the pendulum reaches during its motion. At this point, the pendulum temporarily comes to a stop before changing direction.
At the bottom of its swing in the center, the pendulum has maximum kinetic energy (KE) and no potential energy (PE) because it is moving its fastest and is at its lowest point.
The kinetic energy is greater at the bottom of the swing because the pendulum is moving fastest at that point. As the pendulum swings down, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in increased speed at the bottom.
At the highest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum potential energy since it is at its highest position. The pendulum has maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing since it is moving with the highest velocity at this point.
A pendulum has the most momentum at the lowest point of its swing, where it is moving fastest, due to the combined effect of its velocity and mass.
The acceleration of a pendulum is zero at the lowest point of its swing.

In measuring the period of a pendulum's motion with a stopwatch, you can best minimize the influence of reaction time by measuring period at the maximum swing point, i.e. the point where the pendulum stops and then reverses. It is at that point that the pendulum is moving the slowest. You should also make your line of sight be perpendicular to the swing, in order to minimize parallax error; and you should have a mark of some kind that you can move around to the peak value, then recording the period between successive peak values.
The kinetic energy is greater at the bottom of the swing because the pendulum is moving fastest at that point. As the pendulum swings down, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in increased speed at the bottom.
The kinetic energy of a pendulum is at its least at the point of maximum displacement, whether at the highest or lowest point of its swing. This occurs because the velocity of the pendulum is zero at these points, so its kinetic energy is minimized.
A complete swing of a pendulum is called an oscillation or a cycle. It consists of the pendulum moving from one side to the other and back again.
Apogee
The highest point of a pendulum's swing is called the amplitude. This is the point where the pendulum's potential energy is at its maximum and its kinetic energy is at its minimum.
The maximum potential energy in a pendulum is reached when the pendulum is at the highest point of its swing, also known as the peak of the swing. This is where the potential energy is at its maximum because the height is greatest and gravity has the most impact on the pendulum.
