Roller Coasters
Where on a roller coaster would you have the most potential energy?
At the top of the hill
When does a balloon zipline have the most potential energy?
Before you release it (When the balloon is still blown up)
What do we call the energy of motion?
In January of 2073, how old would I be?
72
What do we call an organism that only eats plants?
Herbivore
What happens to potential energy as the roller coaster goes down the hill?
It is converted into Kinetic Energy
What kind of potential energy is stored inside a balloon that's blown up? A.) Gravitational potential energy B.) Nuclear Potential Energy c.) Elastic Potential energy d.) Chemical Potential energy
Elastic Potential Energy
What do we call stored energy due to an objects height?
If I could teach any subject what would it be?
PE or Business
What is my favorite holiday?
Thanksgiving
Where on the track do you have most kinetic energy?
At the very bottom of the first drop
What happens to the kinetic energy the second you let go of the balloon?
It increases rapidly
What is the word for energy changing from one form to another?
Energy Transformation/conversion/converted
Who is my favorite basketball player of all time? They are retired..
Kobe Bryant
What percentage of Earth's surface is covered by water?
roughly 70%
Halfway down the first big drop, what two energies does the roller coaster have?
Both Kinetic and Potential
When the balloon reached the chair of the zipline what happened to the kinetic energy?
It converted back to potential energy
What are the two main things that determine how much kinetic energy an object has?
What was my favorite sport to play?
Basketball
Which planet in our solar systems is the hottest?
Venus
Why can the second hill of the roller coaster never be taller than the first?
It loses energy to heat and friction
How could you change the balloon setup to give it way more kinetic energy?
Blow the balloon up bigger or make the string steeper
State the law of conservation of energy in your own words..
Energy cannot be created or destroyed

1.) 2.) 3.) 4.)
If speed increases by a factor of 8, how much does the kinetic energy increase?
Kinetic energy increases by a factor of 64.
