Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (mgh = 1/2mv²)
Explanation:
kinetic energy of an object or body has to do with the motion of the object/body at that point
Kinetic energy = 1/2MV²
The kinetic energy of the pendulum at the top of the arc is 0, this invariably means that there's no velocity of the pendulum at that point which makes it 0 (static). The Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when the pendulum starts moving in the opposite direction after this period.
I would have to say Texas because, obviously, its on the coast, and because I know for a fact Oklahoma is VERY prone to Tornadoes and I also know Dallas (and surrounding areas) has a few tornadoes a year:)
