1. Explain how you could use your investigation to plan a track that is fun, challenging and one that is relatively safe. You might think for example: When does he: fly off an end? make it to the top a hill? or land a jump? 2. Build a good track and sketch it. Then use the Energy Graphs to study the Skater’s energy.
• Decide which graphs or chart best helps you understand what makes your track successful.
• Look in your text to find out what the Conservation of Mechanical Energy means and explain it in your own words.
• Explain why your track is successful in terms of Conservation of Mechanical Energy. Include drawings of the Chart or Graphs to help explain your reasoning.
3. Using the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy, explain what things need to be considered when designing any successful track.
