Which of the following best represents potential energy being converted to kinetic energy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A roller coaster starts at the top of a hill and then rolls down the hill. A pitcher throws a baseball, and then the batter hits a homerun. A man jogs around the block and then stops to drink an energy drink. A woman peddles her bicycle across town and back again.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

A good example to illustrate the conversion from potential energy to kinetic energy is a water fall. while it's high up it has potential energy because of gravity, as it falls, that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (as it moves).

So the answer would be A because the roller starts at the top of the hill then rolls down

OpenStudy (aaronq):

yes
