Discussion questions
Talk about it
A car rolling downhill trades height for speed. Enough speed lets it hold a loop or clear a jump.
- Where does the toy car get the speed it needs for the loop?
- Why does the car have to start high enough before the loop?
- What does the slow-motion camera let you notice that normal speed hides?
Quick work-a-long
Vocabulary: speed, gravity, loop, energy.
Try it: Send a toy car down a ramp from two heights into a loop or jump. Find the lowest start that still works. Record it.
