What happens to the height the pendulum reaches when the mass of the projectile increase? What happens to the height the pendulum reaches if the mass of the pendulum increases? What happens to the height the pendulum reaches if the speed of the projectile increases?

Consider a pendulum swinging. Which type(s) of energy is/are associated with the pendulum in the following instances: 1. the moment at which it completes one cycle, just before it begins to fall back towards the other end 2. the moment that it is in the middle between the two ends 3. just before it reaches the end of one cycle (before step 1$)$ a. $1 .$ potential and kinetic 2. potential and kinetic 3. kinetic b. $1 .$ potential 2. potential and kinetic 3. potential and kinetic C. $1 .$ potential 2. kinetic 3. potential and kinetic d. $1 .$ potential and kinetic 2. kinetic 3. kinetic
