At the top of the shot on a slingshot ride, your potential energy is at its maximum due to your height above the ground, while your kinetic energy is at its minimum (approaching zero) since you momentarily come to a stop before descending. Therefore, the correct response is:
**The kinetic energy is less than potential energy.**
**The kinetic energy is less than potential energy.**
