An image of a roller coaster is shown below.

Question

At which position will the roller coaster have the greatest amount of potential energy?
A.

A

B.

B

C.

C

D.

D

Answer 1

The potential energy of a roller coaster is greatest at the highest point of the track. Without seeing the image, I can only guide you based on the typical layout of roller coasters.

• If point A is the highest point among the options provided, then it would have the greatest potential energy.
• Conversely, lower points on the track (such as B, C, or D) would have less potential energy.

So, if you can determine which point is the highest in the image, that point will have the greatest potential energy. Please check the visual representation to confirm.
