Students want to design an investigation to learn about energy and motion. They start their investigation by making two setups. For setup 1 they attach three shelves at the following heights: 1 meter, 2 meters, and 3 meters. The students place a 1-kilogram ball at each shelf height. The students observe the ball stays at rest when set on each of the shelves. For Setup 2 they build a ramp using wood and a table. (See diagram above) They roll the 1-kilogram ball from the top of the ramp and record the speed of the ball as it travels down the ramp. See the results in Setup 2 Data (pictured above). On which shelf will the ball have the most potential energy?

• 1 meter tall shelf

• 2 meter tall shelf

• 3 meter tall shelf
