Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp.
Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp.
Potential energy remains constant because total energy is constant.

The correct statement about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp is:
Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp.
This statement is accurate because potential energy is defined as the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is highest at the highest point (the top of the ramp) and lowest at the bottom.
