We’ve seen the equations for potential energy and kinetic energy.

When looking at a roller coaster here on earth, what are the two variables that remain constant?

(constant means they do not change)

• mass

• gravity

• velocity (speed with direction)

• height

If I wanted to make a roller coaster faster, what two things might I try to do?

Select all that apply.

• Increase the mass of the roller coaster

• Increase height of the first hill

• Decrease the gravity
