In a simple pendulum, when it is at its extreme position then its energy is potential - due to its position from the reference point (mean point). When it is released from its extreme position then its P.E. is transferred into K.E. and it moves towards the mean position. At mean position, its P.E....

When it is released from its extreme position then its P.E. is transferred into K.E. and it moves towards the mean position. At mean position, its P.E. is converted into K.E. When it goes away from the mean position, K.E. is converted into P.E. At extreme position, all K.E. is converted into P.E. so total energy remains constant. read less

Why when a ball dropped from a height, its speed continuously increased?
the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy so obviously yes. as velocity is the only variable , as the height decreases, there should be a corresponding increase in the velocity. (potential energy = mgh, kinetic energy = 1/2 mvxv
