A rollercoaster moves from the bottom of a hill and approaches the top of the hill. If friction between the wheels and the track is ignored, which statement describes the components of the total energy? *answer choices pic attached*

{If anyone has the answers to the Energy Flows Quick Check or others please let me know}.

The kinetic energy remains same and gravitational potential energy increases.

Explanation:

KINETIC ENERGY:

As, we know that the kinetic energy depends upon the speed of the object. Hence, the kinetic energy is given as:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

m = mass

v = speed

K.E = Kinetic Energy

Since, the friction is ignored, therefore the speed of roller coaster will remain same.

Therefore, its Kinetic Energy will also remain same.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:

The potetial energy od a body depends upon its height, as follows:

P.E = mgh

where,

P.E = potential Energy

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

As, the roller coaster moves up hill its height increases.

Therefore, its potential energy will also increase.

hence, the correct option is:

The kinetic energy remains same and gravitational potential energy increases.

i believe the answer would be:

d. violin, clarinet, french horn, and tuba
