This image of a roller coaster is designed to show important information about potential and kinetic energy. One of these pieces of information is incorrect. Which information is wrong, and why?
The incorrect piece of information in this image is the labeling of the highest point of the roller coaster as the point where the potential energy is highest. The correct information should be that the point where potential energy is highest is at the top of the first hill, not necessarily the highest point of the roller coaster. This is because potential energy is a measure of an object's stored energy depending on its position relative to the ground, and it is highest at the top of the first hill as the coaster has the most gravitational potential energy there.
