Question

Explain how the energy of a skateboard is transformed as it slides down a ramp. Give evidence that the TOTAL energy of the car remains the same at all points on the ramp. [HELP PLEASE] I'll make the brainliest.

Answer 1

When the skater is dropped onto the ramp from above, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases.
Every time the skater bounces from the impact, thermal energy is gained, and both potential and kinetic energy are lost.
When the skater is dropped onto the ramp from above, the total energy remains the same from beginning to end.
