Which is the best example that something has kinetic energy?

b. a tennis ball rolling across the court

a. a car parked on a steep hill

c. a picture hanging on the wall

d. a piece of coal before it's burned

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. The diagram shows the rider in the three different positions. Which of these correctly explains PE and KE?

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.

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

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

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed

Energy can be created or destroyed but not transformed

Energy can't be created, destroyed or transformed

Which diving board has the least potential energy?

They all have the same amount of potential energy

A car is sitting on top of a ramp. As the car rolls down the ramp, the potential energy of the car decreases. What happens to the potential energy as the car moves?
