To solve the question regarding the type of energy possessed by the bob of a simple pendulum at different positions, we will analyze each position step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Extreme Position - At the extreme position of the pendulum (the highest point it reaches on either side), the bob momentarily comes to rest before changing direction. - Since the velocity of the bob is zero at this point, the kinetic energy (KE) is also zero. - However, the bob is at its highest point in terms of height, which means it has maximum potential energy (PE) due to its elevated position. **Conclusion for Step 1:** ...
