Exercise Consider a marble rolling on the following track with a loop-the-loop shown below. Assume the marble is already moving at Point 1 (you gave it a push to get it rolling). Assume it can continue rolling right off the track past Point 2 (there is nothing to stop it). Assume that the marble loses no energy to friction, air resistance, etc. Consulting with your partners will be helpful. Point 1 Point 2 A. How does the Mechanical Energy of the marble at Point 1 compare to the Mechanical Energy at Point 27 (ls it greater? Less? The same?) Explain your reasoning. B. How does the Gravitational Potential Energy of the marble at Point 1 compare to the Gravitational Potential Energy at Point 2? (Is it greater? Less? The same?) Explain your reasoning. C. How does the Kinetic Energy of the marble at Point 1 compare to the Kinetic Energy at Point 2? (Is it greater? Less? The same?) Explain your reasoning. D. How does the speed of the marble at Point 1 compare to the speed at Point 27 (Is it greater? Less? The same?) Explain your reasoning. 7
