Work and Energy

1.Conservation of Energy in a roller coaster

2.The Wright Flyer

3.Energy Transformation for a Pendulum

Conservation of Energy in a roller coaster:
Potential energy is at its maximum when the roller coaster is not moving (at the top or bottom). When it¡¯s moving, kinetic energy increases. However, the total energy always stays the same and the energy is conserved.
