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 power be at each end?

Answer:

Swings work by converting potential energy into kinetic energy, then kinetic energy back into potential energy, over and over again.

The kinetic energy is the fast part of swinging; it's the speed you have as you rush back and forth.

Potential energy is the high part of swinging.

The higher you go on the swing, the more potential energy you have.

Answer:

i think the answer is

At the lowest point, the potential energy of the child is minimum, thus her kinetic energy must be maximum at that point.
