Examine the roller coaster track above. Assume there is negligible friction as the roller coaster moves from position A to posit
ion F. Also assume that the roller coaster has minimal kinetic energy at point A. Create three different models below to describe the kinetic energy, the potential energy, and the total energy of the roller coaster at point E. Examples of models include, but are not limited to: pie charts, bar graphs, equations, textual descriptions, and analogies.
the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy
<h3>What is the energy of the roller coaster at point E?</h3>
The energy of a roller coaster could either be potential energy, kinetic energy or a combination of both potential and kinetic energy.
Using analogies, the energy of the roller coaster at point E can be compared to a falling fruit from a tree which falls onto a pavement and is the rolling towards the floor. Point E can be compared to the midpoint of the fall of the fruit.
At point E
the kinetic energy of the rollercoaster is small compared to the potential energy
the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy
the total energy is a mixture of potential and kinetic energy
In conclusion, the energy of the rollercoaster at E is both Kinetic and potential energy,
True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.
if there are switches, it can change if the electricity can get to the bulb or not. if it appears that there is no pathway for the electricity to get to the light bulb, it is of, if there is a pathway, its on
