mean…
 An example of a conserved quantity is…
 Describe three types of energy involved in
the swing of a pendulum of a clock.

In this animation, you see a mass attached to the end of a string which forms a
pendulum. The pendulum begins with only gravitational potential energy (GPE) since it
is not moving yet. After being released, GPE is turned into kinetic energy (KE). Notice
that no matter where the pendulum is, the sum of the GPE and KE is always equal to
the original amount of energy the system started with. This demonstrates the Law of
Conservation of Energy.
Questions:
Where does the pendulum have the highest velocity?
How does the original height of the pendulum compare to its final height?
This simulation is assuming that there is no air friction and no friction in the pivot point
of the rope.

Energy conservation occurs even
when acceleration varies
The diagram below depicts the motion of Li Ping Phar (esteemed Chinese ski
jumper) as she glides down the hill and makes one of her record-setting jumps.
The total mechanical energy of Li Ping Phar is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies. The
two forms of energy sum up to 50 000 Joules. Notice also that the total mechanical energy of Li
Ping Phar is a constant value throughout her motion. There are conditions under which the total
mechanical energy will be a constant value and conditions under which it will be a changing
value. This is the subject of Lesson 2 - the work-energy relationship. For now, merely remember
that total mechanical energy is the energy possessed by an object due to either its motion or its
stored energy of position. The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of these two
forms of energy. And finally, an object with mechanical energy is able to do work on another
object.
