As a pendulum moves closer to the equilibrium position, how do the velocity, acceleration, and force change? The velocity decreases, the acceleration decreases, and the net force decreases. The velocity increases, the acceleration decreases, and the net force decreases. The velocity increases, the acceleration increases, and the net force decreases. The velocity decreases, the acceleration increases, and the net force increases.

The velocity increases, the acceleration decreases, and the net force decreases.

Explanation:

Velocity is at maximum when acceleration is zero thus as the pendulum moves closer to equilibrium position, velocity increases and acceleration decreases. As the pendulum moves closer to equilibrium, the magnitude of force decreases until it reaches the equilibrium position when the magnitude of force is zero. This means the net force decreases in the same manner the acceleration decreases because from the formula of force which is the product of mass and acceleration.
