The marble has its maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at the starting point: the

highest point on the roller coaster. How much of this potential energy is converted to the
marble's kinetic energy?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This depends on the height.

Using the formula mgh + 1/2mv^2 = total mechanical energy, we can determine the amount of kinetic and potential energy. I'm assuming your talking about if the marble goes all the down, then all of the energy is converted.
