Question
To start a pendulum swinging, usually you pull it slightly to one side and release it. What kind of energy is transferred to the mass in doing this?
✓

Answer

On pulling the bob of a simple pendulum slightly to one side, it is raised to a slightly higher position. Thus, it gains gravitational potential energy.
