Olivia is on a swing at the playground. if the swing is moving from W to Z, at which point is her kinetic energy increasing and her potential energy decreasing? (based on a starting point of W)

Olivia is on a Swing at Playground - Option 2 Olivia is on a swing at the playground. Her kinetic energy increasing at x and her potential energy decreasing at x. At mean position velocity is maximum so kinetic energy ( K.E ) is also maximum and at mean position potential energy is minimum. Therefore, kinetic energy is increasing and potential energy decreasing at x.

Answer:

from W-Z.. i think on a swing you get your most potential energy at W and Z is where you go up so Z would be where the kinetic energy increased and W is where potential energy decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps
