A roller coaster is stationary at the top of a ramp.

What is the kinetic and potential energy of the roller coaster?

A. potential energy: high
kinetic energy: zero

B. potential energy: zero
kinetic energy: zero

C. potential energy: high
kinetic energy: high

D. potential energy: zero
kinetic energy: high

Respuesta :

Answer: C should be your answer.

High potential energy cuz it’s above ground. Their is zero kinetic though because kinetic energy is motion and the problem says that the object is stationary so it is not in motion so therefore there is no kinetic energy. (Answer is A)
