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.

Answer 1

At the highest point of the swing, the potential energy is at a maximum as the child has the most potential to fall. At the lowest point of the swing, the kinetic energy is at a maximum as the child has the most speed and motion.
