A roller coaster works by being hoisted to the top of the highest peak on the track and then released. As the roller coaster car moves along the track the energy gets converted back and forth between kinetic and gravitational potential energy. The entire time the roller coaster car is in motion air friction and friction in the wheels act to oppose the motion of the car. At which point during the ride is the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster car the greatest? a. At the bottom of the first dip in the track when the car is moving the fastest.
b. When the car is exactly at half its original height half way through the ride.
c. At the top of the highest peak as the very start of the ride.
d. At the end of the ride as the car nears the station.

No matter what energy transformation we discuss, we know that no energy transfer is 100% efficient. you are about to enter a bicycle rave. you have trained extensively and eaten well to maximize your energy input throughout the bicycle race. you know that some of your kinetic energy will become wasted energy in the form of heat. what is the source of the heat energy and how can you minimize it to maximize the efficiency of your performance in the race? a) you are the source of the heat energy. you can minimize the heat energy but selecting the appropriate clothes to wear. b) air resistance is the source of he heat energy. you can minimize the air resistance by your position while riding the bicycle. c) friction is the source of the heat energy. you can minimize the friction by lubricating all appropriate parts and keeping the tires well inflated. d) kinetic energy is the source of the heat energy. you can reduce the production of heat energy but minimizing the energy you expend to race on the bicycle.
