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)

The kinetic energy of the child is at a maximum at the lowest point of the swing, when she is moving at her fastest. The potential energy is at a maximum at the highest point of the swing, when the child is at maximum height and has the most potential to fall.
