This image of a roller coaster is designed to show important information about potential and kinetic energy. One of these labeled pieces of information is incorrect. Which information is wrong, and why?
(1 point)
Responses
The roller coaster would only have potential energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.”
The roller coaster would only have potential energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.”
The spot marked “maximum gravitational potential energy” should be on the lowest point of the roller coaster, at the far left side on the bottom.
The spot marked “maximum gravitational potential energy” should be on the lowest point of the roller coaster, at the far left side on the bottom.
The spot with the “maximum kinetic energy” should be on the lowest point of the roller coaster, at the far left side on the bottom.
The spot with the “maximum kinetic energy” should be on the lowest point of the roller coaster, at the far left side on the bottom.
The roller coaster would only have kinetic energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.”

The incorrect information is:
**The roller coaster would only have potential energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.”**
This statement is misleading because at any point where both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are labeled, the roller coaster is in motion (not at the highest point). Therefore, it possesses both forms of energy, not just potential energy.
In summary, potential energy is maximized at the highest points of the roller coaster, while kinetic energy is maximized at the lowest points. So, when the roller coaster is at a point labeled as having both potential and kinetic energy, it does not only have potential energy.
