Answer 1

Here are the answers to the questions based on concepts related to potential and kinetic energy during the motion of the ball:

Question 1:

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

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

Question 2:

b. Drag the terms (listed below the paragraph) 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.

• Response: Potential energy is at its highest value, while kinetic energy is at its lowest value.

Question 4:

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

• Response: The speed is zero.

Question 5:

e. Use the drop down responses to complete the paragraph.

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed by ordinary physical or chemical processes.
• 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.
