Answer 1

The correct response is:

at the bottom of the hill right before she stops rolling.

Kinetic energy is at its highest when Kendra is moving the fastest, which occurs just before she stops rolling at the bottom of the hill. As she rolls down, her potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, reaching its maximum just before she comes to a stop.
