Question

Go to the roller coaster simulation and click on the "launch" button. Pay attention to the pie chart as the roller coaster moves and fill in the blank. Be sure to keep this website open because there will be several questions related to it.

The kinetic energy ________as the roller coaster goes downhill.


Click the "step" button on the simulation to observe the energy at different points on the roller coaster ride.


Kinetic energy is greatest at_______?

Potential energy is greatest at ______?

Kinetic energy is decreasing while potential energy is increasing between points________?


Which chart comes closest to the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy at point 6?

increases

Point 2

Point 1

3 and 4

the middle one

Answer 1

increases

Step-by-step explanation:

the guy above is right but to make it easier to view i put mine

Answer 2

The kinetic energy INCREASES as the roller coaster goes downhill.

Kinetic energy is greatest at POINT 2

Potential energy is greatest at POINT 1

Kinetic energy is decreasing while potential energy is increasing between points 3 AND 4

Which chart comes closest to the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy at point 6 - CHART OF ANY POINT IN THE SAME HEIGHT AS OF 6

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒As the potential energy increases , kinetic energy decreases.

⇒Potential energy here is gravitational potential energy.

⇒Thus, more we move away from the centre of the earth , more will be the gravitational potential energy or decrease in kinetic energy
