We participated in a simulation were we observed the energy of a skateboarder as it moved up & down a ramp. Based on our observations, the total energy of the skateboarder appeared to decrease. What is the best explanation for the decrease in total energy?

• The energy decreased because it transformed into other forms of energy like heat because of friction.

• The total amount of energy always decreases because energy can be created and/or destroyed.

Newton's Laws of Motion states that an object in motion should keep moving until some force acts on it. What force would cause a soccer ball to stop rolling?

• Gravity

• Friction

As an object rolls down a ramp its speed increases. When the object hits the base of the ramp and continues moving across a flat surface it continues moving at a CONSTANT speed. Why?

• Gravity stopped acting on the object.

• The amount of friction increased on the flat part of the tract.

• The forces on the object are balanced, so it will travel at the same speed.
