According to the Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it simply changes form.
When we use this law to evaluate problems, we can create equations based on the Law of Conservation of Energy.
In a closed system (remember a closed system means that energy does to flow in or out of the system), the total amount of energy remains the same.
Total Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy + Dissipated Energy
In today's assignment, you will evaluate a Roller Coaster to find the Dissipated Energy
First a review of Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy . . .
