Answer:The skater has the lowest amount of kinetic energy at the top of the track and lowest potential energy at the lowest point of the track. Kinetic energy is the speed a object is going, and potential energy is the energy a object has when its not moving. While the skater moves up the ramp the potential energy increases, and the kinetic energy decreases because it slows down while moving up the ramp. Hope this helps have a nice day ❤️
Explanation:
First recognize that the total energy of the skater is conserved: this means that the total energy of the skater is constant. The total energy (E) consists of the kinetic energy (KE) and gravitational potential energy (Ug).
E=KE+Ug
Now we know that the gravitational potential energy depends on the distance from the zero of potential (or in simpler terms: how high the skater is from the ground). Now, we are ready to answer the question.
The skater possesses the most KE at point B: remember total energy is a constant and at point B the skater has the least amount of potential energy (since they are at their lowest point above the ground). This means that the skater must have more kinetic energy at point B.
Similarly, at points A and C, the skater possesses the most potential energy since they are at their highest point above the ground.
As the skateboarder moves then it will have the maximum kinetic energy at the lower most portion of the track and will have the zero potential energy at the same point and at the maximum height of the track the skater will have maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy.
As the skater moves on the track his kinetic and potential energy converts into each other but the total energy remains constant.
Total Energy = KE+PE
At maximum height the kinetic energy will totally convert into the potential energy and becomes zero.and the potential energy becomes maximum at this point.
At Max height (Total energy=Max Potential energy) KE=0
Similarly at the lower most portion of the track the Potential energy completely convert into the kinetic energy and becomes zero. And kinetic energy becomes max at this point.
At lower point (Total energy= Max Kinetic Energy) PE=0
Thus the skater will have the most kinetic energy at the lower most point of the track and least potential energy at the same point.
