Question

I am kind of confused on this. can someone help me? List three examples of where potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy in the Rube Goldberg Machine simulation.

Answer 1

1. Being at the top of a roller coaster is potential energy (energy stored) and when you start to go down it changes to kinetic energy (energy of movement).
2. When the ball starts it has potential energy, therefore when it falls it will have kinetic energy.

Answer 2

im trying to find a 3rd example.

Answer 3

I have a 3rd example! here: bowling ball across the finish line even though the ball moved slowly and not far it still came from potential energy into kinetic energy

Answer 4

Thank you!

Answer 5

Your welcome!

Answer 6
