Question
choose the correct answer. as this roller coaster car continues to go down, does all of the potential energy change to kinetic energy at the same moment? yes, all of the potential energy changes to kinetic energy at the same moment no, as the car falls, potential energy changes to kinetic energy one unit at a time
In a real - world scenario, as a roller coaster car goes down, potential energy is gradually converted into kinetic energy. It doesn't all change instantaneously. There is a continuous process of energy conversion as the height of the car decreases and its speed increases.
