The a!!aratus above was used in a science activity. Two similar !ing2!ong balls
were released from a height of - m. The balls were observed to see which one
reached the ground faster.
:a; $ar on each a!!aratus" the letter

:ii; K to show the !osition where the ball has the maximum inetic energy
:b; What energy changes too !lace in
:i; a!!aratus X
:ii; a!!aratus Y
after the ball was released?
:c; +n X" the ball too -.= seconds to reach the ground. +f the a!!aratus in X was
