How do potential and kinetic energy gravity and mechanical


1. Which ramp has the greatest friction?

2. Suppose each green ball weighs 10 lbs. Assuming there is no friction, calculate the potential energy for each ball on each ramp.

3. Again assuming there is no friction; predict the maximum speed of the ball on each ramp. On which ramp does the ball come closest to achieving this max speed?
