Question 8
SURVEY
30 seconds
Q.
Which has more GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL energy and WHY? (Choose the BEST explanation!)

A roller coaster car at the top of a hill
OR
a roller coaster car at the bottom of the hill.
answer choices
The car at the top because it is not moving, so it has more potential energy.
The car at the top because it is higher off the ground, so it has more GPE.
The car at the bottom because it is going faster.
The car at the bottom because it can't go any lower.
