How does energy change?

• The cart has more kinetic energy at the top than when it is going down the hill.

• The cart has potential energy at the top while kinetic energy increases going down.

• The cart has potential energy that is lost going down the hill.

• The cart has kinetic energy at the top of the hill and no potential energy.
