A golfer hits a ball onto a green at the top of a hill and it follows the trajectory shown in the image below. Note: point A is after the ball has been hit. At what point does the ball have the highest potential energy? At what point does the ball have the highest kinetic energy? At what point does the ball have the lowest potential energy? At what point does the ball have the lowest kinetic energy? The total energy of the golf ball at point B is the total energy of the golf ball at point C. (Assume no energy loss due to air resistance.)
