3. Write the equation of conservation of energy from the top of the first hill to the bottom of the hill. 4. From the equation above, determine the theoretical velocity at the bottom of the hill: 5. Would your results have varied if the mass of the marble had been twice as big? EXPLAIN. 6. Use conservation of energy to calculate the theoretical velocity of the marble when it is going over your camel back. Show your work. 7. Use conservation of energy to calculate the theoretical velocity of the marble when it is at the top of your loop. 8. Use the conservation of energy to calculate the theoretical velocity of the marble when it is at the bottom of your loop. 9. Use your answers to the previous two questions to find the theoretical centripetal acceleration of your marble when it is at the top and bottom of your loop. Show your work. 10. Can your marble travel the entire track without stopping? Explain why.
