Question
imagine you are swinging on a swing. at which point do you have the greatest potential energy? in the middle of your swing at the highest point at the lowest point
Brief Explanations
Potential energy is related to height. The formula for gravitational potential energy is \(U = mgh\) (where \(m\) is mass, \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity, and \(h\) is height). As height \(h\) increases, potential energy \(U\) increases. At the highest point of the swing, the height \(h\) is maximum compared to the middle and lowest points of the swing.
