A steel ball bearing is rolling back and forth on a U-shaped track. Explain how potential and kinetic energy are

transferred back and forth as the ball bearing moves. Also, tell when the ball bearing will have maximum
potential energy and when the ball bearing will have maximum kinetic energy. (Assume the track is very smooth
so there is no friction.)
