    Step 1: The hand holding the the weight in the pendulum will release the weight and allow it to swing forward to hit the car. This is potential energy by the force of motion of the weight on the pendulum. Potential energy is the energy an object produces due to its position. The pendulum swinging is it being in motion therefore it has kinetic energy. The force shown form this could be Applied Force. Applied force is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. Step 2: After

    ballet dancers you think of grace and beauty. While you watch a dancer dance you never think of the physics and mathematics behind their every move. Physics is described as a thing that is all about measurement‚ and that if you know the units of measurement that physics uses and how they work you will understand everything else you’ll learn about (Dennis and Moring 1). The textbook definition of physics is “the study of matter and energy and their relationships” (Zitzewitz 1). Ballet cannot be defined
