Question

Give me 2 ides for 2 examples i have to complete with steps about how energy is transformed from potential and kinetic energy? Please and thank you!;)

Answer 1

(with 3 steps)

Answer 2

(a) 1. A ball is at the top of a hill with maximum potential energy
2. As the ball is rolling down, potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy with respect to distance. At distance x/2 (half the distance between the top of the hill and the bottom of the hill), the total energy is half potential energy and half kinetic energy.
3. At the bottom of the hill, there is maximum kinetic energy.

(b) 1. A skater is at the top of a half-pipe with maximum potential energy
2. At the bottom (distance x/2) of the half pipe, kinetic energy is at its maximum
3. As the skater goes back up the other side of the half-pipe, kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy, and again at its maximum as the skater reaches the top of the other side of the half-pipe

Answer 3

wow perfect thanks so much! @kyeong
