5. Position the skater at the 6m height mark as described above. Play the simulation and stop after one complete cycle of the track. You should see energy plots kinetic, potential, and total energy on the energy graph you opened. a) Were your predictions and calculations from above reasonably correct? If not, explain why they were not. b) If you add friction to the track, what happens to the thermal energy over one track cycle for the skater? Can you explain why the total energy on the energy graph did not change, or remained constant, even with friction on the track?
