Students are asked to create roller coasters for marbles. Their goal is to design a coaster with the tallest possible hill that

a marble released from a height of 1.5 m (meters) can clear. The marbles will experience some air resistance and friction as
they move.

What should the students keep in mind as they build their designs?

a)The hill can be taller than 1.5 m (meters), because the marble will be moving faster than its initial velocity allowing it to travel higher than its release height.

b)The hill can be taller than 1.5 m (meters), because the marble will gain mechanical energy as it moves allowing it to travel higher than its release height.

c)The hill should be a little less than 1.5 m (meters) high, because the marble will lose mechanical energy as it moves, preventing it from reaching its release
height.

d)The hill can be exactly 1.5 m (meters) high, because mechanical energy is always
conserved allowing the marble to travel to its release height.

Answer:

Kinetic Energy.

Explanation:

The movement of a roller coaster is accomplished by the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy. The roller coaster cars gain potential energy as they are pulled to the top of the first hill. As the cars descend the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

gtnhenbr [62]
An example would be 2 types of motion. It could be rectilinear or projectile motion. There are various equations for each type. Since you don't want me to tell you the answer, I could just express it in words. Then, it will be up to you to translate into mathematical equations.

For rectilinear motion, the distance traveled is equal to the initial velocity times the time, plus one-half of the acceleration times the square of the time. For projectile motion, the maximum distance is equal to the square of the initial velocity multiplied with the square of the sine of the launch angle, all over twice the gravity.
