Answer 1

Sure! Based on the context provided, here are the answers to each question:

Question 1 a. Compared to the other positions shown in the image, describe the energy of the ball at positions 1 and 7.

• Kinetic energy is at its highest value, while potential energy is at its lowest value.

Question 2 b. Drag the terms into the blanks in order to correctly complete the paragraph.

• At positions 2 and 3, kinetic energy is decreasing and potential energy is increasing.
• At positions 5 and 6, kinetic energy is decreasing and potential energy is increasing.

Question 3 c. Compared to the other positions shown in the image, describe the energy of the ball at position 4.

• Potential energy and kinetic energy are both at their highest values.

Question 4 d. Describe the speed of the ball at position 4.

• The speed is at its lowest value.

Question 5 e. Use the drop-down responses to complete the paragraph.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary physical or chemical process.
• This concept is called the law of conservation of energy.
• Throughout the experiment, the total amount of energy must remain constant.
• When potential energy goes down, kinetic energy goes up.
• When potential energy goes up, kinetic energy goes down.
