A bicycle rider is traveling up a hill, stops at the top, then travels down. Which statement is correct about her energy? Options: 1. When the rider is at the top of the hill, her potential energy is the greatest, and her kinetic energy is the least. 2. As the rider moves up the hill, her kinetic energy increases, and her potential energy decreases. 3. When the rider goes down the hill, her potential energy increases, and her kinetic energy decreases. 4. As the rider reaches the bottom of the hill, her kinetic energy and her potential energy decrease.

Back

When the rider is at the top of the hill, her potential energy is the greatest, and her kinetic energy is the least.
