Conservation of Energy: Simple Pendulum

This lecture covers the conservation of energy principle applied to a simple pendulum, discussing the transformation between different forms of energy, such as kinetic and potential energy, during various scenarios like elastic and inelastic collisions. The instructor explains the concept of energy conservation in isolated systems, emphasizing the interconversion of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. Different forms of energy, including mechanical, gravitational, elastic, and thermal energy, are explored in the context of the simple pendulum experiment.
