A diagram is drawn showing a swing set with a swing pulled backward prior to release. The diagram shows how the swing will move forward and then backward after it is initially released. At which point in the diagram is all of the energy gravitational potential energy?(1 point)

Question

Responses

as the released swing begins moving backward
as the released swing begins moving backward

just after release of the swing
just after release of the swing

when the swing is pulled back prior to release
when the swing is pulled back prior to release

at the highest point as the swing moves forward

Answer 1

The point in the diagram where all of the energy is gravitational potential energy is when the swing is pulled back prior to release.

At this position, the swing has maximum height, and therefore the maximum gravitational potential energy. Once the swing is released, it starts converting that potential energy into kinetic energy as it moves forward and backward.
