Which claim BEST supports Katie's & the class' findings about the experiment showing how kinetic energy and potential energy can change as a ball rolls down a set of steps.

• As the ball rolls from the top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs, there is a corresponding change in the amount of potential into kinetic energy.

• The ball’s kinetic energy will decrease as it rolls, and the potential energy will increase as the ball rolls down the steps.

• The speed of the ball would decrease as it approached the bottom of the stairs.

• The potential energy would have been less if there had been more steps and the kinetic energy would have been more if there were fewer steps.
