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 maximum? in one or two sentences, describe these points and which type of energy is at a maximum at each point

Answer 1

The child's potential energy is at a maximum at the highest points of the swing's arc, where her height is greatest, while her kinetic energy is at a maximum at the lowest point of the swing, where her speed is highest. At these points, the energies convert into each other as she swings back and forth.
