Today, a roller coaster gets up to its highest point by _________ and/or __________.
It (does/does not) cost more to lift the roller coaster if it is full of people.

2. 4*3 Investigate (p373)
You will detemine the Kinetic Energy (KE) of the pop-up toy when it leaves the table.
A hop height is ___m, the mass is ___kg
GPE = mgh GPE = KE KE = ½ (m×v2)

5. Physics Talk: Conservation of Energy (374)
Spring Potential Energy
SPE = ½ (k . x . x )
k is the spring constant; units are N/m
x is the amount of stretch (compression); units are meters
k = (2 × SPE)
(x . x)
x = √(2 × SPE) k

6. Physics Talk: Conservation of Energy (374)
Spring Potential Energy (SPE)  energy stored in a spring due to its compression or stretch
EXAMPLE bungee cords, trampolines
The type of energy may change (GPE, KE, SPE) but the SUM OF THE ENERGY’s must always be the same!!!
***In some systems, energy can be lost as thermal energy, sound, and/or light***

7. Physics Talk: Conservation of Energy (374)
But there are sooooo many more types of energies: electrical, light, nuclear, sound, heat, thermal, chemical
All energies are measured in JOULES
If you take into account all forms of energy, the total number of joules should remain the same
Law of Conservation of Energy  total energy is conserved and can be shown in ENERGY BAR CHARTS

9. Physics Talk: Conservation of Energy (376)
What is the effect of MASS on energy?
_____
Where does the roller coaster get all the GPE that drives the ride?!?!?!?!?!?!

10. Physics Talk: Conservation of Energy (374)
What is the effect of MASS on energy?
The lighter and heavier toys have the same SPE
They also have the same GPE (because they cancel each other out)
Where does the roller coaster get all the GPE that drives the ride?!?!?!?!?!?!
Electrical energy (power plant/generator) pulls cart up the 1st hill
After 1st hill, GPE  KE
At the end when braking, KE  TE

11. 4*3 TOTD All energies are measured in _____.
In some systems, energy can be lost as __________, _____, and/or _____.

The two factors responsible for the amount of SPE stored in a spring are ____ and ____.

13. Position above table (m) SPE + KE + GPE = Conservation of Energy
PTG (p380)
Position above table (m)
SPE (J)
KE (J)
GPE (J)
SPE + KE + GPE = Conservation of Energy
At rest = 0m 25
Just after popping = 0m
½ up the height = 0.3m
At peak = 0.6m

14. PTG (p380)
2. Make an energy bar chart from Question 1 4. Think of a roller coaster hill… 5. The 2nd hill CANNOT be higher than the 1st because _____. The total mechanical energy of the ride CANNOT INCREASE once it is rolling on its own. 6. In real life, the roller coaster is constantly losing energy due to _____ with the track and is lost as heat.

15. PTG (p380)
7. Electrical Energy = GPE = _____ 8. a) KE = ½ (m × v2) = _____ b) If KE = 0, then GPE = _____ c) h = GPE /(m×g) = _____ 9. While the ball is rising, its GPE is _____. 10._____ gain the greatest GPE from start to finish.

16. PTG (p380)
11. a) GPE = _____ KE = _____ b) SPE = _____ c) h = GPE = _____ (m×g) 12. GPE = SPE mgh = ½ (kx2) a) k = 2mgh = _____ x2 b) x = √(2mgh) = _____ k 13. SPE = KE SPE = ½ (kx2)= _____

17. 4*3 TOTD #2
A roller coaster car has a mass of 500kg and a speed of 20m/s…
What is the KE at the bottom of the hill?
What is the GPE at the top of the hill?
What is the height of the 1st hill?
If the brakes fail, then what will the spring constant (k) be when compressed by 8m? (Look at #12a)
If a pop-up toy has a spring constant of 60N/m and is compressed 0.7m, then what is its SPE?
