Question

As the car begins to climb the second hill what will happen to the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the car? (ignore friction forces)

Answer 1

ANSWER:

2nd option: The potential energy will increase and the kinetic energy will decrease.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

As the car begins to climb, the speed decreases and the height increases.

Therefore, the potential energy increases and the kinetic energy decreases.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The potential energy will increase and the kinetic energy will decrease.
