1. 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.

Here is your

Remember that potential energy is the energy a object has when it's NOT moving, and kinetic energy is when a object has energy when it IS moving. So examples of this kid of transformation would be kicking a soccer ball at first the soccer ball has potential energy because it's not moving but it has potential to move then when someone kicks the soccer ball it has kinetic energy because the ball is not moving.

Example one: when the video first begin "the ball had potential energy and when the ball swung and hit it that potential energy turned into kinetic energy."

Example two: As the video moves on and the two pillars crashed down it caused another ball to move, at first the "ball had potential energy because it was not moving then when the ramp went down it caused the ball to gain kinetic energy."

Example three: At the end of the video the ball push down a row of wooden blocks then lead to it hitting a "bowling ball across the finish line even though the ball moved slowly and not far it still came from potential energy into kinetic energy."

Hope this helps!
