The roller coaster destroys potential energy.
The roller coaster destroys potential energy.

The roller coaster creates kinetic energy.
The roller coaster creates kinetic energy.

Potential energy increases, but kinetic energy does not change.
Potential energy increases, but kinetic energy does not change.

The roller coaster’s kinetic and potential energy change from location to the next, but its total energy remains the same.

8. The pendulum in the diagram below swings from position A to B.



If we don’t consider friction, what happens to the total mechanical energy as the pendulum swings from position A to position B?

The roller coaster’s kinetic and potential energy change from location to the next, but its total energy remains the same.

I apologize for the error in my response. Based on the graph provided, the roller coaster's potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases from location A to D. The correct statement is: The roller coaster's potential energy decreases, but its kinetic energy increases.

In this case, if we don't consider friction, the total mechanical energy of the pendulum remains the same as it swings from position A to position B.

D. It remains the same.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. If we don't consider friction, the total mechanical energy of the pendulum should remain the same as it swings from position A to position B. The correct answer is D. It remains the same.
