# Conservation of Energy Experiment The image shows a classroom setup designed for a physics experiment, likely demonstrating the conservation of energy. A metal track, shaped like a roller coaster, is suspended in the classroom. A ball bearing (likely a metal sphere) is attached to a string or cable that is suspended from the ceiling. The track appears to be positioned on a cart or stand allowing it to be moved around a bit. A projector screen displays questions and diagrams related to the experiment. The diagrams involve different energy levels, and there are equations related to kinetic and potential energy. **Questions/Tasks (from the projected image):** 1. If gravitational potential energy goes up, kinetic energy *must* go down. 2. The total amount of kinetic and gravitational potential energy must stay the same. 3. Consider four different tracks, and a ball bearing released at the same time. Which track would have a ball bearing land farthest from the table? 4. Fill in the missing energy values (a table is likely projected showing kinetic and potential energy calculations). The projected materials suggest a physics experiment examining the conservation of energy as the ball bearing rolls down the different tracks. The image also shows energy values (kinetic and potential energy) being calculated, which are likely essential data points in the experiment.
