When the marble is released it decreases in kinetic energy and then increases as it moves up the ramp.
When the marble is released it decreases in kinetic energy and then decrease again as it moves up the ramp.
When the marble is released it increases in kinetic energy and then decreases as it moves up the ramp.
When the marble is released it increases in kinetic energy and then increases more as it moves up the ramp.
When the marble is released it decreases in kinetic energy and then increases as it moves up the ramp.
Based on the diagram and the description provided, the best explanation of the kinetic energy taking place is:
"When the marble is released, it decreases in kinetic energy and then increases as it moves up the ramp."
