Based on this simulation, how would you describe the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy? Why does this relationship occur?

The total energy of the skater is the sum of his potential energy and kinetic energy. As potential energy decreases, kinetic energy increases, and vice versa. This occurs because kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential energy is stored energy.

Explanation:

0 = 0.40 / 0 = 0

= 0.20 = 9.80 ⁄2 =?

=0 , = = 0.20 =0.50 0 0.40 ⁄

=0−122 =0−12(9.80 ⁄2)(0.50)2 =1.2
