Description
A bowling ball pendulum is held against the nose and released, swinging out and back without causing harm. This demonstration exemplifies the conservation of energy principle, where the potential energy at the highest point of the swing converts to kinetic energy at the lowest point and back to potential energy, demonstrating that the ball cannot swing higher than its initial release point if no external forces act on it.
