Back

The marble will lose energy as it rolls up the right hill.

Front

What does the white ball do when it hits the 7 ball?

Back

The white ball will transfer its energy to the 7 ball and make a sound. The 7 ball will start to move.

Why is the first hill of a roller coaster the tallest?

Back

So it has enough gravitational energy to make it through the rest of the ride.

Front

What is a way of storing energy?
