Question

Mr. Davis says at location 1 the skater has maximum potential energy and at location 4 all the Potential Energy was transferred to Kinetic Energy. Is Mr. Davis correct? Write an AEI paragraph explaining where the skater has maximum PE and KE. In your response, explain how energy is being transferred.

Answer 1

Answer:

As previously discussed, the skater has the most potential energy at the top of the slope. As the skater moves down the slope, his potential energy decreases as the kinetic energy increases. The lowest point of the slope is located on the Ep = 0 J reference point.
