Write TRUE if the statement if correct. Change the underlines word if not.
If both points have the same height, same speed by the coaster car will be expected.

Write TRUE if the statement if correct. Change the underlines word if not.
As the rollercoaster travels down, the kinetic energy decreases.
(a)
At which point does the coaster car travels the fastest?
Point B
Point D
Point F
Point H
At which point does the coaster car travel the slowest?
Point C
Point E
Point G
Point H
Which pair of points have the same speed?
Point B and F
Point C and F
Point D and H
Point C and D
Would lowering point G cause the speed of the coaster car in point H to lower?
Yes, because more bumps nearer to each other is one of the factors that affect a coaster's speed
Yes because there will be a drop from point E. Therefore, slows down the speed of the coaster car.
No because the coaster car is moving at a constant velocity from point A to point H
No because each line corresponds to an amount of speed, thus changing Point G also does not affect the other points.
Do you think the coaster car would reach point H?
Yes because point A's high is more than point H
Yes because the coaster car already stored enough energy in order for it to reach point H
No because point H is too low from point G. Therefore, the coaster car gets stuck at point G.
No because the coaster car stops at point F due to the unreachable height of Point G
Which of the following pairs of point have the same speed to the coaster car?
Point A and F
Point B and D
Point C and G
Point E and G
Which point does the coaster car travel the fastest?
Point B
Point C
Point E
Point G
At which point did the kinetic energy last increase?
Point E
Point F
Point H
Point G
What do you think will happen all the points are aligned in one height?
It will move back and forth in a constant velocity
The coaster car will not move
The coaster car will speed up after some time
It will move in a constant speed, but will stop in the end
Do you think the coaster car will reach point H?
Yes, because point A to point H's gap is very far from each other
Yes, because all things reach a certain point after some time
No, because point H's height is much higher than point A's
No, because the coaster car lost its kinetic energy from point F to G
