Which of the following is a supported by evidence from the graph?

Potential energy increases but kinetic energy stays the same during a roller coaster ride.

Kinetic energy and potential energy change, but energy is neither created nor destroyed during a roller coaster ride.

Potential energy is destroyed during a roller coaster ride.

Kinetic energy is created during a roller coaster ride.

A)Potential energy increases but kinetic energy stays the same during a roller coaster ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system.

Kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion

it goes back and fourth
