For the following change, describe whether (1) kinetic energy is being converted into potential energy, (2) potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy, or (3) kinetic energy is transferred from one object to another. (More than one of these changes may be occurring.)
A car in an old wooden roller coaster is slowly dragged up a steep incline to the top of the first big drop.
