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.
