As a pendulum moves toward the equilibrium position velocity square and acceleration square As the pendulum moves away from the equilibrium position, velocity square and acceleration square Velocity is at a square when acceleration is zero.

a pendulum moves **toward** the equilibrium position velocity **increases** and acceleration **decreases**. As the pendulum moves **away** from the equilibrium position, velocity **decreases** and acceleration **increases**. Velocity is at a **maximum** when acceleration is zero.<br />
