Question

Which statement about the box is true at each point along the ramp

Answer 1

Its loss in potential energy is equal to its gain in kinetic energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see in the graph that at the beginning there is potential energy and there isn't kinetic energy. As the box moves down the ramp, the potential energy decrease, and the kinetic energy increase, however, the mechanical energy, which is the sum of potential and kinetic is constant. It means that the loss in potential energy is equal to the gain in kinetic energy.

So, the answer is

Its loss in potential energy is equal to its gain in kinetic energy.
