AS A ROLLER COASTER MOVES DOWN A HILL, POTENTIAL ENERGY IS CONVERTED INTO KINETIC ENERGY, THERMAL ENERGY, AND SOUND ENERGY. WHAT IS TRUE ABOUT THE TOTAL ENERGY OF THIS SYSTEM?

• ENERGY IS GAINED (CREATED) AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES
• ENERGY IS LOST (DESTROYED) AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES
• THE TOTAL ENERGY REMAINS THE SAME AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES
• THE TOTAL ENERGY CONSTANTLY CHANGES AS THE ROLLER COASTER MOVES
