How does a playground swing demonstrate conservation of energy?

0

At the bottom of its swing, its speed is largest, and therefore, so is its kinetic energy. At the top of its swing, it comes to a brief stop: its kinetic energy is zero, but its height and therefore its potential energy are largest. It therefore seems reasonable that the sum of the two energies stays the same.
