The picture below shows Peggy's new racetrack. It has different starting positions and an upside-down loop for cars to go through. She has 3 cars that she wants to try on the track: a sports car, a truck, and a jeep. Peggy knows that height can change how fast a car will go. Which experiment will help Peggy choose the starting position that allows every car to complete the loop? A. an experiment where Peggy drops each car from different starting heights multiple times and records which heights allow all three cars to complete the loop every time B. an experiment where Peggy drops each car from the same starting height and measures the amount of time it takes each car to complete the loop C. an experiment where Peggy drops each car from different starting heights multiple times and measures how far each car goes on the course after completing the loop D. an experiment where Peggy drops each car from the same starting height and records which cars complete the loop from that height

Students are investigating energy transfer in the laboratory. The students use rubber bands and rulers for their investigation. They attach a rubber band to each ruler, pull the band back, and allow the band to launch from the ruler. The diagram shows their set up. The results of their investigation are shown. Ruler Distance Band Is Pulled Back (centimeters) Distance Band Travels (centimeters) 1 5 61 2 10 122 3 15 213 4 20 366 Which statement best describes the results of their investigation? A. The more potential energy the band has, the more kinetic energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels. B. The less potential energy the band has, the more kinetic energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels. C. The more kinetic energy the band has, the more potential energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels. D. The less kinetic energy the band has, the more potential energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels.
A. The more potential energy the band has, the more kinetic energy is transferred, and the farther the band travels.
