We can confirm that in a roller coaster, kinetic and potential energy in the car decreases at each successive hill because of the force of gravity which converts potential energy into kinetic energy.
<h3>What are potential and kinetic energy?</h3>
- Potential energy is referred to as <em><u>positional energy</u></em>.
- This means that the object in question gains energy based on its position relative to others.
- Kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
- Gravity causes the roller coaster to fall, losing potential energy.
- This causes it to gain all of the potential energy as kinetic energy.
- Once at the bottom, the coaster no longer moves and thus loses the kinetic energy as well.
Therefore, we can confirm that gravity is the force that causes the shift from potential energy to kinetic energy and thus causes them both to decrease after each successful hill in the roller coaster.

I think it's Potassium iodide because it has the highest solubility at 25°C.
Answer:
Three ways that waves may interact with matter are reflection, refraction, and diffraction. Reflection occurs when waves bounce back from a surface that they cannot pass through. Refraction occurs when waves bend as they enter a new medium at an angle and start traveling at a different speed.
Explanation:
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.
