The apparatus above was used in a science activity. Two similar ping-pong balls
were released from a height of 2 m. The balls were observed to see which one
reached the ground faster.
(a)

Label on each apparatus, the letter

(i) P to show the position where the ball has the maximum potential energy
(ii) K to show the position where the ball has the maximum kinetic energy
(b)

What energy changes took place in

(i) apparatus X : _____________________ to ____________________

(ii) apparatus Y : _____________________ to ____________________
after the ball was released?
(c) In X, the ball took 2.5 seconds to reach the ground. If the apparatus in X was
replaced with a steeper inclined plane of the same height, predict how long the pingpong ball would take to reach the ground.
____________________________________________________________
(d) The ball in apparatus X was measured and found to have 50 J of energy, when it was
10 cm from the top. Would the ball have the same amount of energy, 2 cm before it
reached the bottom?
______________________________________________________________
(e) Explain your answer in (d).
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
(f) What can you infer from (d) and (e)?
