Question

The rollercoaster is near the

bottom of the hill after the first big
drop. Which best describes the
potential and kinetic energy?
A. It has mostly kinetic energy.
B. It has mostly potential energy.
C. The kinetic energy is decreasing.
D. The potential energy is about 50%
and increasing.

Answer 1

A. It has mostly kinetic energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy refers to movement. Potential energy refers to height. In this case, the big drop just got over. So, when the coaster is at the bottom, it has more kinetic than potential energy . Potential energy is still present but kinetic is more at the bottom.
