A box slides from the top of a ramp to the bottom, its maximum potential energy is located

• at the top
• equal at all locations
• at the bottom
• at the exact middle of the ramp

A pole vaulter runs forward, plants his pole, rises in the air and lands. What point represents his greatest amount of gravitational potential energy?

• just before he starts to fall to the ground
• ater take-off as the pole expands and lifts the vaulter toward the bar
• when he initially lands
• as he runs forward to plant the pole

You can use a small marble with a mass of 15g or a large marble with a mass of 20g on an energy lab track. What should you do to give your marble the most potential energy?

• They should use a large marble with the ramp at a 75° angle.
• They should use a small marble with the ramp at a 60° angle.
• They should use a small marble with the ramp at a 45° angle.
• They should use a large marble with the ramp at a 60° angle.
