This image of a roller coaster is designed to show important information about potential and kinetic energy. One of these labeled pieces of information is incorrect. Which information is wrong, and why? (1 point) Responses 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. 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. 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. 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. The roller coaster would only have potential energy at the point labeled “gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.” The roller coaster would only have potential 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.”

Answer 1

The incorrect information is: "The roller coaster would only have potential energy at the point labeled 'gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.'"

This statement is wrong because at that point on the roller coaster, both gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are present. At the highest points of the roller coaster, gravitational potential energy is maximized, while at the lowest point, kinetic energy is maximized. The point labeled "gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy" indicates that both types of energy are present at that position, not just potential energy.
