We observe a moving object. When we observe the object moving more slowly, we know that it–

• will move in a new direction.

• has more gravity pulling on it.

• can’t go back to where it started.

• has less energy than it had before.

A student has some short and tall ramps and a toy car. She decides to use them to create an investigation. She wants to know which ramp will give the car the most energy. What evidence should she look for? Explain.

• She should see which care moves the fastest down a ramp. The type of car makes a difference.

• She should use one ramp and test many cars. Car design is most important.

• She should see which ramp makes the car moves the fastest. The faster the car the more energy it has.
