Answer:

Point 1. most extreme point. PE 100%

Point 3 point at mid-height PE 50%

Point 5 lowest point PE 0%

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy in a pendulum is conserved if we ignore the friction of the air, the total energy is

Em = ½ k A²

at each point the energy can be written as a potential part and a kinetic part

Em = PE + K

where Pe is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy

In the entire trajectory the energy passes from one form to the other.

In general there are some points of very high interest.

Point 1. most extreme point in this case the pendulum is stopped and the

Em = PE 100%

Point 3. point at mid-height

Em = PE + K

at this point the energy is 50% of each

Point 5. lowest point, at this point the body has a height of ero so its potential energy is zero

Em = K 100%

potential energy is 0%
