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.
Section 2: Hill Design
2. Click/tap on the Bumps tab at the top of the
Interactive. Then drag the grey circles to modify the
track so that it looks like the track design at the right.
Pay attention to the background grid to help with the
design. Note that Dot G is at the same height as Dot E;
make sure that the same is true of your final design.
3. Run the simulation. Does the coaster car travel as high
as point H? ___________ Give an explanation for why
it does or doesn't reach point H.

As the coaster car rolls down the track from A to E, the potential energy values decrease and the kinetic energy value increase and the total mechanical energy values remain constant. The potential energy is greatest at point A and smallest at point E.  However, the kinetic energy is smallest at point A and largest at point E.

According the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy decreases, the kinetic energy increases.

[tex]P.E + K.E = M.A[/tex]

At point A, the coater has maximum potential energy.

At point E, the coaster has maximum kinetic energy.

We can fill the blanks as follows;

As the coaster car rolls down the track from A to E, the potential energy values decrease and the kinetic energy value increase and the total mechanical energy values remain constant.  The potential energy is greatest at point A and smallest at point E.  However, the kinetic energy is smallest at point A and largest at point E.

Based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, if the second simulation occurs at the same condition as the first, the height reached by coaster will be same.
