Without the diagram, it is not possible to determine the location on the ramp where the skateboarder has the highest potential energy.
To determine the location on the ramp where the skateboarder has the highest potential energy, you need to understand the concept of potential energy and its relationship to height. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition.
In this case, the potential energy of the skateboarder is highest when they are at the highest point on the ramp because the height above the ground is the greatest at that location.
Looking at the diagram, you can identify the highest point on the ramp by finding the position where the skateboarder is at the greatest height. In this case, it is location Y. Therefore, the skateboarder has the highest potential energy at location Y.
To determine where the skateboarder has the highest potential energy on the ramp, we need to understand the concept of potential energy and how it relates to the position of an object.
Potential energy is the stored energy that an object possesses based on its position or condition. In this case, the skateboarder's potential energy will be highest when they are at the highest point on the ramp.
Looking at the diagram, we can see that point Z is the highest point on the ramp. Therefore, the skateboarder has the highest potential energy at location Z.
So the correct answer is Z.
