Question

5.) complete the table based on what you observed (circle one answer for each ke and pe too\
position (height) of skater on \u\ track kinetic energy potential energy\
top high medium low high medium low\
middle high medium low high medium low\
bottom high medium low high medium low

Explanation:

To solve this, we use the concepts of kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE). Potential energy depends on height (PE = mgh, where h is height), and kinetic energy depends on speed (KE = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$). At the top of the track, the skater has maximum height, so PE is high, and speed is low (KE is low). At the middle, height is moderate, so PE is medium, and speed is moderate (KE is medium). At the bottom, height is minimum (PE is low), and speed is maximum (KE is high).

Step 1: Analyze Top Position

• PE: High (max height), KE: Low (min speed)
• So for Top: KE - low; PE - high

Step 2: Analyze Middle Position

• PE: Medium (moderate height), KE: Medium (moderate speed)
• So for Middle: KE - medium; PE - medium

Step 3: Analyze Bottom Position

• PE: Low (min height), KE: High (max speed)
• So for Bottom: KE - high; PE - low

Answer:

Position (height) of skater on "U" track	Kinetic Energy	Potential Energy
Middle	medium	medium
Bottom	high	low
