Which statement correctly describes the energies involved as a child on a swing approaches the bottom of the swing arc? Assume that the effects of air resistance are negligible. (1 point)

Question

• Both kinetic energy and potential energy reach their maximum.
• The swing's potential energy reaches its maximum while its kinetic energy reaches its minimum.
•. The swing's kinetic energy reaches its maximum while its potential energy reaches its minimum.
• Both kinetic energy and potential energy reach their minimum.

Answer 1

The statement "The swing's potential energy reaches its maximum while its kinetic energy reaches its minimum" correctly describes the energies involved as a child on a swing approaches the bottom of the swing arc.
