A swinging pendulum is moving fastest at the lowest point of its arc. That is the point where all its potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, and it is the only point in a pendulum's arc where that happens. See related link (a simulation).

What keeps a pendulum clock swinging backwards and forwards?
A pendulum clock swings back and forth due to the force of gravity pulling the pendulum downward as it swings. The inertia of the swinging pendulum keeps it moving in a continuous motion, with the escapement mechanism regulating its timing to ensure accuracy.
Is law the catalyst for starting the pendulum swinging?
Is law catalyst for starting the pendulum swinging? or is ethics? politics?
What would happen if you let a pendulum go on swinging?
Obviously, it will stop after sometime , after swinging. It is because we cannot apply energy continuously to the swinging pendulum.
What are the examples of the pendulum motion?
Examples of pendulum motion include a grandfather clock pendulum swinging back and forth, a playground swing moving back and forth, and a metronome ticking back and forth.
When does a pendulum swing have the most momentum?
A pendulum has the most momentum at the lowest point of its swing, where it is moving fastest, due to the combined effect of its velocity and mass.
Please give two examples of 'oscillation'?
A clock pendulum swinging back and forth. A weight on a spring moving up and down.
Why doesn't a pendulum keep swinging forever?
Most pendulums are operated by a spring, when the spring looses its tention it can no longer keep the pendulum swinging. Others may work on a different system but the system in not perpetual and will loose its ability to keep the pendulum swinging. As a point of interest you canot use a pendulum in space.

What is the swinging bit on a clock called?
Pendulum
To and fro vibratory motion of a swinging pendulum in a small arc?
The period or frequency of the pendulum
Swinging part of the grandfather clock?
It is known as the Pendulum.
What are three examples of objects with Kinetic energy?
A falling rock. A cannonball in flight. A tetherball swinging around the pole. Anything that's moving.
