How many points do you want to risk?
Describe the energy conversions taking place throughout the roller coaster: Point A to B: Point B to C: Point C to D: At which point is potential energy the greatest and why? At which point is kinetic energy the greatest and why?
Point A to B: Potential energy to kinetic Point B to C: Potential to kinetic Point C to D: Kinetic to Potential Point A is where potential energy is the greatest because it is the highest hill and the energy is coming from gravity. Point C is where kinetic energy is the greatest because it is the lowest point and the car will be moving the fastest at that point.
