A bicycle rider is traveling up a hill. When the rider reaches the top of the hill, she stops to rest. Then she travels down the hill. Which statement correctly describes the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the bicycle rider?

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

As the rider moves up the hill, her kinetic energy increases, and her potential energy decreases.

As the rider reaches the bottom of the hill, her kinetic energy and her potential energy decrease.

When the rider goes down the hill, her potential energy increases, and her kinetic energy decreases.

Conservation of energy means that

energy can be neither created nor destroyed

energy can be destroyed but not created

energy can be both created and destroyed

Which is the best example of an object with only potential energy?

a boulder resting on top of a cliff

water being poured out of a pitcher

a ball being thrown across a field

a boat sailing through the water

As a boulder rolls from the top of a hill to the bottom, how does its potential and kinetic energy change?

Potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases.

Potential and kinetic energy both increase.

Potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases.

Potential and kinetic energy both increase.

Students are investigating changes from potential to kinetic energy by rolling a marble down a ramp made by propping up a plastic ruler on a book and letting it roll down. Which of the following will change the potential energy the marble starts with?

Adding more books beneath the ruler to increase its height

Pushing the marble down the ramp

Switching the plastic ruler with a wooden one

Replacing the marble with a rock

If a green golf ball is dropped from a height of 7 feet and a yellow golf ball is dropped from a height of 12 feet, which ball has greater potential energy before it is released?
