Section 1: Basic Energy Relationships 1. Click tap the Start button and observe the motion. View the bar
charts and the velocity value as the coaster car moves. Complete
the following paragraph by entering total mechanical energy
(ME), kinetic energy (KE), and potential energy (PE). The
labeled locations refer to the graphic at the right.
As the coaster car rolls down the track from A to E, the
values decrease and the
value
increase and the
values remain constant. The
is greatest at point A and smallest at point E.
However, the is smallest at point A and largest
at point E.
