The students decide to investigate how the mass of each marble affects its kinetic energy. The students will roll each marble down the first hill on the track. They will then compare the results for the kinetic energy of both the ceramic marble and the steel marble. Which figure best compares the kinetic energy of each marble when the marbles roll down the hill on the track?

The students determine that the total energy of the marble decreases slightly as the marble travels along the track. Which statement describes the most likely cause of this decrease in total energy?

• Some of the marble's energy is destroyed by the wooden blocks as the marble rolls along the track.

• Some of the marble's energy is transferred to the surface of the track as the marble rolls along the track.

• Some of the marble's energy is transferred to the wooden blocks as the marble rolls along the track.

• Some of the marble's energy is destroyed by the surface of the track as the marble rolls along the track.

The students want to see how changes to the design of the marble track will affect the energy of the marble. Part A One student wants to increase the potential energy of the marble at the starting position. Explain one way the students can adjust the track to increase the marble's potential energy. Describe the dimensions of any materials used to adjust the track. Which is the best description?

• Replace block Y and use a block with a greater height then block Y

• Replace block X and use a block with a greater height then block X

• Replace block Z and use a block with a greater height then block Z

• Replace block X and use a block with a lower height then block X

The students want to see how changes to the design of the marble track will affect the energy of the marble. Part A One student wants to increase the potential energy of the marble at the starting position. Explain one way the students can adjust the track to increase the marble's potential energy. Explain why the adjustment to the track would increase the marble's potential energy.

• Potential energy will increase with the higher new block replacing block Y

• Potential energy will increase with the higher new block replacing block Z

• Potential energy will increase with the higher new block replacing block X
