1. The diagram shown below depicts a region of space. The dashed curves indicate posi- tions of equal gravitational potential energy for a test boulder that is placed at various locations within this region. Three such locations (A, B, and C) are labeled. It is known that the potential energy at location A is greater than that at locations B and c (a) (5 points) At each location, draw an arrow to indicate the direction in which the test boulder would move when released from rest at that location.
