What does potential energy plus gravitational energy equals?
Gravitational-potential energy.
As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size its gravitational potential energy?
As an interstellar gas cloud shrinks in size, it's gravitational potential energy gradually transforms into other forms of energy.
What happens to the gravitational potential energy as the pendulum starts back up towards its highest point?
The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.
