2. Create the track shown below. Note the starting and ending heights (8m and 6m). The lowest point is at the ground. Make sure friction is zero, and gravity is "Earth". 10 Pie Chart Speed Stick to Track Energy Kinetic Potential Thermal Total Grid Reference Height 8 0m Normal Slow 00 Friction None Gravity Mass Earth Restart Skater G 1 Lots 9.8 m² 26.0
a) Position the skater stationary on the left of the track at 8m high. Do not run yet. Calculate the skater's potential energy and kinetic energy. Explain your calculation. b) If you were to release the skater (not yet), calculate their potential energy and kinetic energy when they reach the very bottom of the track. Explain your calculation. c) If the skater were to reach the 6m height at the top of the track on the right, calculate their theoretical potential energy and kinetic energy. Explain your calculation. d) Now run the simulation described above. Based on your energy numbers from above, explain why the skater flies off the track.
