Josie made a frictionless hot wheel track thatlooks like the one shown. She placed a red rubberball on the left top of track at 1.Fill in the Prediction column by staring whatpercentage of each type of energy is presentat each section Ex: 60% PE „ 40% KEEitherUse the intro simulation and choose the loop track,Or choose the playground simulation to build the track above as similar as possible.Upload a screenshot of your pie charts in the simulationColumn ( Ctrl + shift +1=111)PredictionSimulationExplain the difference between your prediction & thesimulation (Put "none" if your predictions were accurate}1PE:100%KE:100%None2PE: 30%KE: 50%30%70%Thought the potential energy would have more effect on theskater.3PE:40%KE:700%40%60%None4PE:100%KE:0%100%None

Name:2. Pretend that Josie can magically change the ball to different things like the simulation can(Change Mass).a.Whatdoyou think wouldchange about the Pie Charts?The pie charts will not change unless the mass change.b. Explain why you think the charts would be similar or different.They would be the same if there is no frictionandthe same amount of energy put inwillbeput out too.c. Check your reasoning using the simulation and make corrections if necessary.Good.
