J. Gabrielse Conservation of Energy (E) Energy (E) means Total Energy

J. Gabrielse Drop a Ball off a Cliff

J. Gabrielse Drop a Ball off a Cliff When is the ball moving the fastest? at the lowest point * * just before it hits the grounds and just after

J. Gabrielse Drop a Ball off a Cliff When is the ball moving the fastest? at the lowest point * When is the ball moving the slowest? at the highest point (it has to stop in order to change directions)

J. Gabrielse Drop a Ball off a Cliff When is the ball moving the fastest? When is the ball moving the slowest? What is the ball trading for speed? at the highest point at the lowest point * height
