Examine the image of a roller coaster. At what point on the track is the gravitational potential energy of the roller coaster car the greatest, and why?
Point W; the roller coaster car has not yet gone down the ramp to convert stored potential energy to kinetic energy.
Point X; the roller coaster car has not yet gone up the next ramp to convert stored potential energy to kinetic energy.
Point Y; the roller coaster car will be at its highest point before converting potential energy to kinetic energy.
Point Z; the roller coaster car will be at its lowest point before converting potential energy to kinetic energy.
