Question 153

A roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a hill at point P and rolls down the track. As it reaches the lower section, the brakes are applied, bringing the car to a complete stop at point Q.

Which of the following describes the sequence of energy changes that take place from point P to point Q?

A

gravitational potential energy →\rightarrow→ kinetic energy →\rightarrow→ thermal energy

B

gravitational potential energy →\rightarrow→ thermal energy →\rightarrow→ kinetic energy

C

kinetic energy →\rightarrow→ gravitational potential energy →\rightarrow→ thermal energy

D

kinetic energy →\rightarrow→ thermal energy →\rightarrow→ gravitational potential energy
