The person has the greatest potential energy at the top of the ramp before they begin moving down into the ramp. This is because potential energy is highest at the highest point in a gravitational field. As the person descends, potential energy converts to kinetic energy, reaching its lowest point at the middle of the ramp.
A person is riding a skateboard on a U-shaped ramp. At which point does the person have the greatest potential energy? (1 point)
Oon the first part of the ramp as the person is moving down the side
Oat the top of the ramp before they begin maving down into the ramp
in the middle of the ramp at its lowest point in the U
Oon the other side of the ramp as the person is coming back up
