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)

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 point, the swing is at its highest position and has maximum gravitational potential energy. As it is released and begins to move forward, some of that potential energy converts into kinetic energy.
