Which of the following best describes the roller coaster’s energy as it moves from the top of the coaster to the bottom of the coaster?
Both potential and kinetic energy decreases at the same time.
The potential energy is decreased as it is converted into kinetic energy, making the roller coaster go faster.

Select all the true statements about the roller coaster ride.
As the car goes up the hill, potential energy is decreasing.
As the car goes up the hill potential energy is increasing
When the car reaches the top of the hill, it has the maximum amount of potential energy.
