A child is swinging back and forth on a swing. Changes in her kinetic and potential energy are happening each moment. At which point, or multiple points, in her swinging would each of these two types of energy be at a maximum? In one to two sentences, describe these points and which type of energy is at a maximum at each point.(2 points)

Question

ONE TO TWO SENTENCES MAKE IT SOUND EASY PLS

Answer 1

The child's kinetic energy is at a maximum when she reaches the bottom of the swing's arc, as she is moving at her fastest speed. The child's potential energy is at a maximum when she reaches the highest point of the swing's arc, as she is at her greatest height and has the most stored energy.
