In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that the object possess, due to the fact that the object is moving. When the object/skateboard isn't moving it has no kinetic energy. However when it is given energy such as a push, it would move and keep going until it is stopped by another force, such as a wall.

What was the effect on the skate's maximum kinetic when he was placed further down the ramp?

The skate's maximum kinetic energy would increase as it moves further down the ramp due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. As the skate descends, it gains speed and therefore its kinetic energy increases.


Is a skate ramp an inclined plane?

Yes, a skate board ramp is considered an inclined plane. The is because skate rampshave a slope and are not just straight.


What force after you have climbed to the top of the diving board gives you more potential energy than you had on the ground?

The force of gravity increases your potential energy as you increase your distance from the Earth's surface. Therefore, when you climb to the top of a diving board you have more potential energy due to gravity than you had on the ground.


Which would have more potential energy a man diving form a 2 meter board or a man diving from a 10 meter board?

Assuming that the two are the same man ... the man diving from a 10 meter board would have five times the potential energy as the man on the 2 meter board. The energy is directly proportional to the height.


How the skate park simulation can be used to eplain the law of conservation of energy?

In the skate park simulation, as the skater moves along the track, the potential energy at the top of each ramp is converted into kinetic energy as the skater descends. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This principle is demonstrated in the simulation as the skater's total energy (potential + kinetic) remains constant throughout the ride.
