Step 1 A tennis ball weighing 56 grams is let go on a track that is 3 ft long and on a 45-degree angle.

Step 2 The tennis ball hits the first book tipping the book and creating a domino effect on the rest of the eight books; each book weighs 12 ounces. The last book falls onto a gold ball.

Step 3 The pushed golf ball weighs 45.9 grams and rolls down the ramp that is 1 foot long at a 45-degree angle and falls into a bucket ending the motion.

For step 1:

A. Analyze the behavior of the object in the interaction between the previous step and the selected step. Qualitatively describe the transfer of energy that occurs. Apply principles of conservation of energy and momentum to this behavior.

B. Provide the equations that can be used to describe the transfer of energy and the momentum of the object from the previous step to the selected step. Explain the connection between the basic physics concepts in the equations and the interaction of the object and force(s) from step to step.

C. Calculate the transfer of energy and the momentum from the previous step to the selected step, using the applicable equations you identified. Explain how these calculations help you predict the object's location and velocity from the previous step to the step you selected.

For step 2:

A. Calculate the initial velocity of the object in the selected step. Explain what the object's initial velocity tells you about the object's behavior.

B. Calculate the change in velocity that would be observed based on kinematics and force principles. Then use Newton's Second Law to calculate the force acting on the object.

C. Provide the equations that can be used to describe the change in kind and amount of energy across the selected step.

D. Calculate the amount of energy that is converted from one form to another, using the changes in mass and height. For example, if appropriate for your selected step, you could calculate the transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy.

For Step 3

A. Analyze the behavior of the object in the interaction between the selected step and the next step. Qualitatively describe the transfer of energy that occurs. Apply principles of conservation of energy and momentum to this behavior.

B. Provide the equations that can be used to describe the transfer of energy and the momentum of the object. Explain the connection between the basic physics concepts in the equations and the interaction of the object and force(s) from step to step.

C. Calculate the transfer of energy and the momentum from your selected step to the next step, using the applicable equations you identified. Explain how these calculations help you predict the object's location and velocity from the step you selected to the next step.
