Problem 76GP

At the local playground a child on a swing has a speed of 2.02 m/s when the swing is at its lowest-point. (a) To what maximum vertical height does the child rise, assuming he sits still and “coasts”? Ignore air resistance. (b) How do your results change if the initial speed of the child is halved?
