Astudent calculates the potential energy of a roller coaster at the top of a hill. then, she uses the kinetic energy equation to calculate the roller coaster's energy as it reaches the bottom of the hill. the calculations show that the roller coaster's potential energy was slightly greater at the top of the hill than its kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill. which of the following best explains this difference? a. energy in moving systems is not always conserved. b. the roller coaster's velocity decreases as it moves downhill. c. the student did not account for energy transformed into heat and sound. d. the gravitational force is greater at the top of a hill than at the bottom.

Aplayground slide is 8.80 ft long and makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. a 63.0-kg child, initially at the top, slides all the way down to the bottom of the slide. (a) choosing the bottom of the slide as the reference configuration, what is the system's potential energy when the child is at the top and at the bottom of the slide? what is the change in potential energy as the child slides from the top to the bottom of the slide? (include the sign of the value in your answer.)
