Question
at the top of the hill, the roller coaster has ______ energy.
□ kinetic
□ potential
rewatch submrt
Brief Explanations
Potential energy is stored energy based on position. At the top of a hill, a roller coaster is at a high elevation, so it has stored gravitational potential energy. Kinetic energy is energy of motion, and the coaster moves slowly (or is momentarily stopped) at the hill's peak, so kinetic energy is minimal here.
