• True

• False

Speed and Kinetic Energy are ___________ related.

• Inversely

• Directly

As the train moves along the roller coaster, it slows down because

• 
  

• • Potential Energy is changed to Kinetic Energy

• Energy is lost due to Friction-it is changed to heat energy

• • The people on the roller coaster start dragging their feet.

Why does King Da Ka travel faster faster than Nitro?

• 
  

• • Because it has a taller hill, it stores more potential energy

• • Because it has a taller hill, it stores less potential energy

• • Because it has launch motors, it has more kinetic energy
