Label the points in a golfer’s swing where the club has maximum gravitational potential energy and
maximum kinetic energy.
Label where the ball has maximum potential energy. Label where the ball has maximum kinetic energy.
Law of Conservation of Energy
What does the law of conservation of energy state?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Use the Law of Conservation of Energy to explain why the second hill of the roller coaster, shown in the picture
above, is not as high as the first. (Hint: Think about the energy transformations that occurred during the ride. Was
100% of the gravitational potential transformed into kinetic energy?)
