A ball, starting from rest at Position 1, rolls down and then up a curved track towards Position 5. When it reaches Position 5, it rolls back down the track 2
Which description below is most consistent with what you can expect from the ball's motion?
The ball will roll as high as Position 1 since energy cannot be created or destroyed.
The ball will roll past Position 1 since energy cannot be created or destroyed.
The ball will roll as high as Position 2 since some of the energy will be transformed to heat,
The ball will roll as high as Position 3 since that position has the least potential energy.
