Energy can be described as something supplied by fuels, something that can be interchanged between different forms, and something whose interchange-amount is measured by force multiplied by distance. Work measure interchange of energy. This activity analyzes the potential and kinetic energy exchanges for a swinging pendulum and also connects centripetal acceleration and force to the swinging pendulum.
