Do Now Heading: Roller Coaster Energy Pick up 2 worksheets from the front table Turn in any late assignments that you have been working on Open your journals
Place a 1 where you think the roller coaster has the highest GPE Place a 2 where you think the roller coaster has the highest Kinetic Energy Place a 3 where you think the roller coaster has equal kinetic and gravitational potential energy For each number write 2 sentences about why you chose that spot on the roller coaster
Energy Conservation Roller Coaster Energy
Highest Gravitational Potential Energy 1 10 M
Smallest Gravitational Potential Energy 2 10 M
Food for Thought So where did the gravitational potential energy go at the bottom of the roller coaster? Be specific. Try to use examples for the energy skate park lab from yesterday
Energy Conservation GPE KE
Largest Kinetic Energy 2
Smallest Kinetic Energy 1 10 M
Equal Kinetic Energy and GPE 3 10 M
