A roller coaster car moves along the track from position A to position B as shown. Which of the following statements describe the changes in kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE) observed during this path?The PE decreases and the KE increases.The PE increases and the KE decreases.The PE decreases and the KE does not change.The PE increases and the KE does not change.Both increase and decrease but the overall effect is that neither one changes **Transcription of Educational Image:**The image depicts a simple diagram of a roller coaster track with two distinct positions labeled:- **Position A**: This is the top of the first hill. A small cart is shown at the peak of this hill, illustrating the potential energy at its highest point before descending. - **Position B**: This is the top of the second hill, where another cart is situated. Position B is slightly lower than Position A, indicating a common design in roller coaster physics where subsequent hills are lower due to energy transformations and losses.The track demonstrates the principle of energy conservation, where the cart’s potential energy at Position A is converted into kinetic energy as it moves down the hill, and vice versa as it ascends towards Position B. Understanding these concepts is central to grasping the basics of physics, particularly energy transformation and dynamics in motion on inclined planes.
