    • Thermal Energy
    • Friction
    • Energy

Learning Goals

    • Explain the Conservation of Mechanical Energy using kinetic, gravitational potential, and thermal energy.
    • Describe how changing the mass, friction, or gravity affects the skater's energy.
    • Predict position or estimate speed from energy bar graph or pie chart.
    • Calculate speed or height at one position from information about a different position.
    • Describe what happens to the energy in the system when the reference height changes.
    • Design a skate park using the concepts of mechanical energy and energy conservation.
