Gravitational Potential Energy
Experiment 1: Rebound height of different balls
Energy transfer -- GPE to KE to EPE and back again.
Note: Watch the video carefully as you do the work and energy calculations.
Ball drop experiment worksheet
Work and Energy: - How much work have you done in lifting the balls?
Work = Force x Distance (Units: Joules)
To do work you must actually move the object, otherwise no work is done.
Experiment 2: Skate Park
Skate Park applet
Skate Park experiment worksheet
