This graph shows different types of
energy for a roller coaster car that starts
at the top of a large hill and goes down to
its lowest point at 6 s.
According to the graph, what is the most
likely relationship between height and
potential energy?
Your answer:
They are directly related.
They are inversely related.
There is no relationship between the
two.
There is not enough information for
a conclusion.
