3 because of the thing it’s trying to say
In an electrochemical cell in which the oxidation reaction is nonspontaneous the oxidation will not occur spontaneously at the anode and the reduction will not be spontaneous at the cathode. And according to the law for the calculation of the voltage potential of the electrochemical cell (Ecell):
Ecell = Eox. - Ere. where (Eox. is the potential of the oxidation at the anode and Ere. is the potential of the reduction at the cathode). The standard potential for an electrolytic cell is negative, because of the Ere. which is greater than Eox.
The answer is : less than zero.
When you first pull back on the pendulum, and when you pull it back really high the Potential Energy is high and the Kinetic Energy is low, But when up let go, and it gets right around the middle, that's when the Potential energy transfers to Kinetic, at that point the kinetic Energy is high and the potential Energy is low. But when it comes back up at the end. The same thing will happen, the Potential Energy is high, and the Kinetic Energy is low. Through all of that the Mechanical Energy stays the same.
I hope this helps. :)
