Which of the following graphs correctly represents the relationship between the kinetic energy (K.E) and the displacement (d) from point of release of a swinging pendulum bob?

Option B is the correct answer. Reason, a swinging pendulum has it kinetic energy maximum at the equilibrium position or state of rest before displacement, which has been indicated on the graph II above. Meaning that, the curve shows that, the kinetic energy reduces the farther away the displacement of the bob from its equilibrium position.
