Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

all of the energy of the car is potential. If you slide the car down, the car potential energy is being transformed into kinetic energy

I did this assignment on different idea it was on bowling ball if the bowling ball sit on the top of the building not moving it has potential energy if it fall it taking more kinetic energy.

I got an 100% on my assignment

Answer:

At the top of the ramp (before the car slides down), the toy car has the maximum potential energy and no kinetic energy. As the toy car begins to slide down the ramp, its kinetic energy increases and its potential energy decreases. Down the ramp, the kinetic energy is the maximum it could be and there is no potential energy.
