If you are at an amusement park and you ride a slingshot, how does your potential energy compare to your kinetic energy at the top of the shot? (1 point) Responses Kinetic energy is greater than potential energy. Kinetic energy is greater than potential energy. The kinetic energy and potential energy are the same. The kinetic energy and potential energy are the same. The kinetic energy is twice the amount of potential energy. The kinetic energy is twice the amount of potential energy The kinetic energy is less than potential energy.

The potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy.

At the top of the shot, when you are at the maximum height, your potential energy is at its highest because it depends on the height and mass of an object relative to the ground. As you are not in motion while at the top, your kinetic energy is zero. Therefore, the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy at the top of the shot.

Apologies for the confusion. I misunderstood your question initially.
At the top of the shot, when you are momentarily at rest, your potential energy is at its maximum, while your kinetic energy is zero. As you are not in motion, there is no kinetic energy at the top of the shot. So, the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy at this point.
