This free animated tutorial features a simple pendulum attached to a pivot point by a string. As the pendulum swings, energy bar graphs of changing kinetic and potential energy are displayed alongside. This resource, part of The Physics Classroom website, is intended to help students visualize mechanical energy conservation as they investigate why the tension force does no work on the pendulum.
