Question

Imagine you are swinging on a swing. At which point do you have the greatest potential energy?

Answer 1

When you are swinging on a swing, you have the greatest potential energy at the highest point of the swing, which is when you are at the highest elevation relative to the ground. At this point, all the kinetic energy from your movement has been converted to potential energy due to your height. As you swing down, that potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy, reaching its maximum right before you swing back up to the next highest point.
