The best statement that describes the changes in energy as the girl begins to descend from the highest point in swinging is:
**b. kinetic energy is increasing, and the potential energy is decreasing.**
As she swings down, her height decreases, leading to a decrease in potential energy, while her speed increases, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy.
**b. kinetic energy is increasing, and the potential energy is decreasing.**
As she swings down, her height decreases, leading to a decrease in potential energy, while her speed increases, resulting in an increase in kinetic energy.
