In the following image (attached image), a person slides down a ramp until he reaches the end of it and continues his movement. The ramp has a height, h, but this is decreasing as the person goes down it. The initial velocity of the cart is zero. The height of the ramp is 12 meters.

*The mass of the cart was not given.

 

Determine if the following statements are true or false:

 

g)The speed at the end of the ramp is the maximum speed the cart can get.

h)At the bottom of the ramp the cart only has kinetic energy.

i)At the top of the ramp the energy that the person and the cart have is the potential energy.
