• Engineers use a process to guide them as they solve problems. The steps in this process include: 1) Defining the problem; 2) Researching; 3) Brainstorming possible solutions; 4) Exploring a solution; 5) Creating and testing a prototype; 6) Reflecting and improving the process

What is this process called?

• Experiment

• The Engineering Design Process

• Newton's Laws of Motion

• Innovation Process

This energy plays a very important role in amusement park rides. It is energy that is STORED and depends on the relative position of various parts of a system.

• solar energy

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• sound energy

This energy plays a very important role in roller coasters and other amusement park rides, and is a property of a MOVING OBJECT that depends on the objects motion and its mass.

• nuclear energy

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• solar energy

Students in Mr. Edwards' WARM camp created their own amusement park and placed a roller coaster ride at location (5, -9) on their prototype map. In which quadrant of the coordinate plane is this roller coaster located?

• Quadrant 1

• Quadrant 2

• Quadrant 3

• Quadrant 4

Mr. Pugh designed the new Pugh Vertical Flight amusement park ride, where riders enter the ride 50 feet off the ground. From there, the ride quickly ascends another 130 feet, then gradually descends 25 feet, and then rapidly plunges another 60 feet, before ascending another 15 feet, in preparation for the final descent to the ground.

Which mathematical expression does NOT represent the height of the Pugh Vertical Flight ride before its final descent to the ground?

• 50 + 130 + (-25) + (-60) + 15

• 95 + 15

• -50 + (-130) + 25 - 60 + 15

• 180 - 85 + 15

• 50 + 130 - 25 - 60 + 15
