Conservation of energy explains that energy can only be transferred between different forms of energy
Having more than one atom in its molecule doesn't make
a substance a compound. It's only a compound if it has
atoms of different elements in its molecule.
Both atoms in an Oxygen molecule are the same element ... Oxygen.
Top of the U ramp: potential energy is the highest, while kinetic energy is the lowest
Bottom of the U ramp(aka the curve part): potential energy is the lowest and the kinetic energy is the highest
THEREFORE, PE and KE have an INVERSE RELATIONSHIP.
