As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Conservation of Energy ?</h3>

Conservation of energy state that energy is neither created nor destroy, they can only be transformed from one form to another. Energy of and object can transform from Potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa

Given that at the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What will happen to this potential energy as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill is that the potential energy to the roller coaster will start decreasing while the kinetic energy will start to increase.

The total energy of the roller coaster will be constant because of conservation of energy. As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy will eventually reduce to zero where the total energy of the as the roller coaster will be equal to maximum kinetic energy.

Therefore, as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

What is a disadvantage of shared decision-making?
Snezhnost [94]
The disadvantages of shared decision making are:
Adopting a wrong advice from a member can lead to a big risk to the company and the business. 
Further, increased number of advice also confuses the person, about which to follow and which to ignore. 
There is also diffusion of responsibility and lowered efficiency.
