. List three examples of where potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy in the Rube Goldberg Machine simulation. Fully explain the energy transformations using complete sentences. (Example: The ball has potential energy when it sits on the shelf that transforms to kinetic energy when it falls to the ground.)

In a study of a weight loss program, 40 subjects lost a mean of 3.0 lb after 12 months. does the weight loss program have practical significance? a. yes, because the weight loss program worked and the subjects lost a mean of 3.0 lb. b. no, because the mean weight loss of 3.0 lb after one year does not seem to justify the program. c. no, because the sample of 40 subjects was too small to determine if the program was useful. d. yes, because the mean weight loss of 3.0 lb after one year does seems to justify the program.
