Question

What is true about the energy in the system above?

(3 points)
Responses

the potential energy is lowest at point B because the distance between the swing and the earth is lowest at this point
the potential energy is lowest at point B because the distance between the swing and the earth is lowest at this point

the potential energy is greatest at points A and C because the farther the swing moves away from earth, the greater the potential energy is
the potential energy is greatest at points A and C because the farther the swing moves away from earth, the greater the potential energy is

potential energy is stored by an object because of its position relative to another object
potential energy is stored by an object because of its position relative to another object

as the child moves from point A to point B, kinetic energy is increasing
as the child moves from point A to point B, kinetic energy is increasing

all these are true
all these are true

all of these are false

Answer 1

All these are true.

Explanation: A and C are the highest points so gravitational potential energy is greatest there; B is the lowest so potential energy is lowest. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's position relative to another mass (Earth). As the child moves from A down to B that potential is converted into kinetic energy, so kinetic energy increases.
