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.(2 points) please

Answer 1

The child's kinetic energy is at a maximum at the lowest point of the swing's arc, where she is moving fastest, while her potential energy is at a maximum at the highest points of the swing's arc, where she is momentarily at rest before changing direction. Thus, kinetic energy peaks at the bottom, and potential energy peaks at the top of the swing.
