Answer:

Point 1. most extreme point.     PE 100%

Point 3 point at mid-height        PE   50%

Point 5 lowest point                  PE     0%

Explanation:

The energy in a pendulum is conserved if we ignore the friction of the air, the total energy is

          Em = ½ k A²

at each point the energy can be written as a potential part and a kinetic part

          Em = PE + K

where Pe is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy

In the entire trajectory the energy passes from one form to the other.

In general there are some points of very high interest.

Point 1. most extreme point in this case the pendulum is stopped and the

          Em = PE  100%

Point 3. point at mid-height

           Em = PE + K

at this point the energy is 50% of each

Point 5. lowest point, at this point the body has a height of ero so its potential energy is zero

            Em = K 100%

potential energy is 0%
