Kinetic and Potential Energy Transfer (detailed) — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A detailed roller-coaster diagram illustrating kinetic and potential energy transfer across five labelled positions (A–E). Includes bar charts for each position showing relative GPE and KE, an energy transfer flow diagram, a Sankey diagram showing energy efficiency (100 J input, 85 J useful KE output, 15 J wasted heat), key formulas (GPE = mgh; KE = ½mv²), and key takeaways. Colour-coded green for GPE and blue for KE throughout.
