Alana summarized what happens when a ball sitting on top of a grassy hill rolls down the hill. the motionless ball has potential energy. once the ball starts to roll down the hill, new kinetic energy is made. as the ball rolls across the grass, it slows down. the kinetic energy of the ball is converted to other forms of energy. which best describes alana’s error? the motionless ball does not have energy because it is still. kinetic energy is not made; it is a result of energy transformation. the ball cannot slow down unless someone touches it. the energy is not converted; it disappears.

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.
