In a swinging motion, energy is continuously converted between kinetic energy (the energy of motion) and potential energy (the energy of position). When the girl is at the highest point of the swing, her potential energy is at its maximum, and her kinetic energy is at its minimum (near zero). Conversely, at the lowest point of the swing, her kinetic energy is at its maximum, and her potential energy is at its minimum.
Given that the question specifies a photo of the girl swinging, without knowing the exact position she is in, we can infer that if she is at or near the highest point of the swing, then she would have high potential energy and low kinetic energy.
Therefore, the best response would be:
She has high potential energy and low kinetic energy.
