. Rebecca climbs the ladder of a large water slide, waits her turn at the top, and then slides down the slide into a pool. Which answer best describes the energy changes during her time on the slide?(1 point)
Responses
kinetic → potential → kinetic
kinetic → potential → kinetic
potential → mechanical → kinetic
potential → mechanical → kinetic
kinetic → mechanical → potential
kinetic → mechanical → potential
potential → kinetic → potential
The correct answer is: potential → kinetic → potential.
The correct answer is:
potential → mechanical → kinetic
The correct answer is: kinetic → potential → kinetic
Explanation:
When Rebecca climbs the ladder of the water slide, she is using her muscles to generate kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is then transferred to potential energy as she reaches the top of the slide. At the top, she has the maximum potential energy. As she slides down the slide, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy, and she gains speed and motion. Finally, when she lands in the pool, the kinetic energy is dissipated and converted into other forms of energy, such as heat and sound.
