The sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic
energy is called mechanical energy. Use Figure 2 to find the mechanical energy
of an idealized pendulum at a variety of times in its cycle. Identify any pattern you
notice in the values of mechanical energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical energy = Gravitational potential energy + kinetic energy

Time            Gravitational potential energy        kinetic energy         Total ME

0                                    4                                                0                        4

2                                     2                                               2                        4

4                                     0                                               4                        4

6                                     2                                               2                        4

8                                     4                                               0                        4

and so on  .....

We see that total mechanical energy is always 4 which is constant .

So gravitational and kinetic energy changes cyclically but total mechanical energy is constant .
