19. In the simulation below, you can watch the kinetic energy of a skater being converted to gravitational potential energy. Click on this link:https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park-basics.
Once the link opens, click on the arrow to run the simulation. When a new window opens, choose the Introduction.Selectthe boxes for "bar graph" and "speed" so you can watch the change in speed of the skater and the energy transformations that happen. With theU-shaped track selected, click and drag the skater onto the track. Let him go and watch the changesofkinetic andpotential energy that occur as the skater moves up and down the track. Also observe the speeds. You can run everything in slow motion. Answer the following questions.
The skater's speed is maximum ["in the middle", "at the bottom", "at the top"] of the track.
The skater's ["potential energy", "kinetic energy", "speed"] is maximum at the top of the track.
The skater's total energyis ["minimum at the top of", "constant everywhere along", "maximum at the top of"] the track.
