Examine the image of a roller coaster. At what point on the track is the gravitational potential energy of the roller coaster car the greatest, and why?

Point W; the roller coaster car has not yet gone down the ramp to convert stored potential energy to kinetic energy.

Point X; the roller coaster car has not yet gone up the next ramp to convert stored potential energy to kinetic energy.

Point Y; the roller coaster car will be at its highest point before converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

Point Z; the roller coaster car will be at its lowest point before converting potential energy to kinetic energy.

A student observes a marble as it is rolled down a ramp with points R, S, and T marked. At what points does the marble have the least kinetic energy, and why?

Points R and S; the marble is moving at point R and picks up speed at point S.

Points R and T; the marble is not moving at point R and slows to a stop at point T.

Points S and T; the marble picks up speed at point S and slows to a stop at point T.

Points R, S, and T; the marble is not moving at all three points.
