A roller coaster is constantly converting PE to KE and back. but why does it slow down as it goes through the course? Mark all that apply.
Friction with the track slows it down.
Friction with the air slows it down.
The people are breathing the air which slows it down
The Potential Energy slows the cars down.

It will stop.
It will roll back down hill.
I It will turn over and dump the people out
I will just keep going forward slowly
