What happens to the speed from A to B?
it stays the same
it speeds up
it slows down
Which type of energy does it lose from A to B
Gravitational potential
Elastic potential
Kinetic
Chemical
Which type of energy does it gain from A to B
Gravitational potential
Elastic potential
Kinetic
Chemical
Explain how your observations support the conservation of energy
As one energy store goes down the other goes up, and so the total energy of the system stays the same
Energy keeps increasing
The energy is destroyed
There is twice the energy at the end than at the start
Where in its swing does the pendulum have its largest gravitational potential energy store?
At the ends
In the middle
Somewhere in between
Where in its swing does the pendulum have its largest kinetic energy store?
At the ends
In the middle
Somewhere in between
In which of the three positions is the jumper's gravitational energy store largest
Position 1 - waiting to jump
Position 2 - rope unwound
Position 3 - lowest point before he rebounds
In which of the three positions is the jumper's gravitational energy store smallest?
Position 1 - waiting to jump
Position 2 - rope unwound
Position 3 - lowest point before he rebounds
In which of the three positions is the ropes elastic energy store largest?
Position 1 - waiting to jump
Position 2 - rope unwound
Position 3 - lowest point before he rebounds
