Click the play button and watch how the potential and kinetic energy changes with respect to the location of the roller coaster car. Next, click on the step button. You will notice that the track now has 6 different locations where the coaster will stop. Click through each stop and look at the pie chart to see how potential energy compares to kinetic energy.
At which stop(s) does the coaster have the most kinetic energy?
At which stop(s) does the coaster have the greatest potential energy?
At which stop(s) does the coaster have the highest velocity?
At stop 4, is there greater potential energy or kinetic energy?
