• Congregation

• Decoration

• Conservation

True or false: This roller coaster car can travel from Point 1 to Point 2 without any outside force?

• True because Point 2 at the end of the coaster track is a little lower than Point 1.

• False. Even though Point 2 is a little lower than Point 1, the car will not have enough kinetic energy to make it over the tall hill.

• True because the car will gather more potential energy when it gets to the top of the tall hill.

• False. Point 2 is much higher than Point 1 so there's not enough kinetic energy.
