Use the following picture to answer questions #17 and #18. Consider that after the snowboarder starts down from the hill from point A, she travels all the way to the end of the path. Standing still at the top of the hill at point A, what kind of energy (potential and/or kinetic) would the snowboarder have? How do you know?
Explain the energy conversion from point C to point B. Make sure to include a description of both kinetic and potential energy.
