Question

Describe the change in kinetic and potential energy as the skater goes down the ramp. Why do you think this happens?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the skater is dropped onto the ramp from above the potential energy is high but as the skater goes down the potential energy converts to kinetic energy and as the skater hits the ramp the thermal energy increases, every time he bounces on the ramp, as the kinetic and potential energy decreases
