In a track like the one described in the Energy Skate Park Virtual Lab, the distribution of potential and kinetic energy varies based on the skater's position. Here's a general breakdown of the points you might consider:
-
Most kinetic energy: This will typically occur at the lowest point of the track (often point D if the points form a hill-like structure).
-
Most potential energy: This occurs at the highest point on the track (which might be point B if the hill rises before descending).
-
Kinetic and potential energies are about equal: This usually happens at points where the skater is at a moderate height above the lowest point but not at the peak. In a typical track, this could be points A and C, assuming those points are midway up the track.
So, a likely selection would be:
- Most kinetic energy: D
- Most potential energy: B
- Kinetic and potential energies are about equal: A and C
Please adjust the point letters according to the actual track layout if they differ from this description.
