A pendulum has 576 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom of its swing?

Ideally, 576 J because energy is conserved.
In the real world, a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit less than 576 J ,
because we live in a world with friction and air resistance.
