Ballistic pendulum conservation of momentum/mechanical energy?

"Mechanical energy and momentum are conserved only when certain conditions rae met. Explain why the collision between the ball and the pendulum conserves momentum but not mechanical energy. Similarly, explain why the motion of the pendulum during its swing conserves mechanical energy but (apparently) not momentum."

I understand why during the collision kinetic energy is lost and momentum is conserved, but why would mechanical energy be conserving during the swing and not momentum?
