The roller coaster would only have kinetic energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.”
The roller coaster would only have kinetic energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.”

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.

Answer 1

The statement "The roller coaster would only have kinetic energy at the point labeled 'gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy'" is incorrect. The roller coaster would have both potential and kinetic energy at this point, as the potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy as the coaster descends.

Answer 2

But is the most accurate one in the statement

Answer 3

The most accurate statement is "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." This is because the lowest point of the roller coaster is where the gravitational potential energy is at its minimum and the kinetic energy is at its maximum.
