Question

**Please explain your answer in a short description!

The pendulum shown in the figure above reaches a maximum height h above the equilibrium position as it oscillates. Assuming friction and air resistance are negligible, which of the following is true about the total energy of the Earth-pendulum system as the pendulum oscillates? It is at a maximum when the pendulum is at its lowest position. It is at a maximum when the pendulum is at its maximum height h. It is constant throughout the pendulum's motion. It is at a minimum when the pendulum is somewhere between its lowest and highest positions.

Explanation / Answer

Total energy of body performs shm always remains constant throughout it's motion. So correct option is (C)
