Answer:

A.Kinetic and potential energy change, but total energy stays the same.

Explanation:

According to the Principle of Energy Conservation, the energy is not created nor destroyed, but transformed. Given the absence of non-conservative or external forces, it is conducted that total energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy, whose proportion changes in the process. Neither potential energy nor kinetic energy are destroyed or created. Therefore, the answer is A.

I am not sure what the graph looks like, so I don’t know which parts of the roller coaster is marked. However, I believe the answer is C: Kinetic energy is created during a roller coaster ride, since a roller coaster typically has a lot of built up potential energy that converts to kinetic energy when the roller falls from a large hill on the tracks.

Lady_Fox [76]
Bleach would increase the pH because Bleach is a basic substance with a pH of about 12

Soda would lower the pH because the pH of sodas is somewhere around 2.5 (this is for coke, other sodas are a bit different)
