At which point is the kinetic energy the greatest?

Kinetic energy is energy an object has because of its motion and is equal to one-half multiplied by the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity squared (KE = 1/2 mv2). Kinetic energy is greatest at the lowest point of a roller coaster and least at the highest point.

Explanation:

here is an example Where is the apple when it has the most kinetic energy? When the apple is falling and is right before it hits the ground. As an object falls under the influence of gravity, kinetic energy and potential energy are equal everywhere/at the halfway point only. 10. As an object falls under the influence of gravity, potential energy is greater than kinetic energy after halfway point/ before the halfway point

In the roller coaster, the kinetic energy is greatest at point X.

The kinetic energy of a body is given by 1/2mv^2.

Where;

m = mass of the object

v =velocity of the object.

For a roller coaster, the velocity is maximum at the lowest points of the roller coaster. If the velocity is maximum at the lowest point, it also follows that the kinetic energy is also maximum at the lowest point. Hence point X has the highest kinetic energy.
