List three examples of where potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy in the Rube Goldberg Machine simulation. Fully explain the energy transformations using complete sentences. (Example: The ball has potential energy when it sits on the shelf that transforms to kinetic energy when it falls to the ground.)

The roller coaster has potential energy when it is in no motion at the top of the ramp, this transforms into kinetic energy when it picks up sped down the ramp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the roller coaster not being in full motion, this doesn't mean there isn't any energy. Gravity brings the roller coaster down into motion making it kinetic energy.

Answer:

1.When the ball starts it has potential energy, therefore when it falls it will have kinetic energy.

2. When it falls it will have potential energy, then cut the scissors, therefor when it gets to the wood it will have kinetic energy.

3.when it slings shot it will fall into kinetic energy, then stop and stay at potential energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Is this better?
