Lab #6:
Conservation of Energy
PHYS-UA11
Objective and Description
In this experiment, students further develop their skills with the Capstone interface in order to
observe the Conservation of Energy. This lab consists of three parts. In the first part, a rubber tube is
dropped through the photogate sensor that students were introduced to in previous experiments. In the
second part, a 0.1kg hanging mass and the photogate are used, which students have been previously
introduced to. However, they are used in a new way, as the mass is set up in such a way that it can be
treated as a pendulum. Finally, in the last part, a 0.5kg weight is attached to a spring and allowed to
oscillate, while its motion is detected with the motion sensor. Through each experiment, the application of
the conservation of energy in a physical sense can be evaluated.
Theory
In previous experiments, the work-energy theorem, which shows that the integration of Newton’s
Second Law yields W=∆KE, was observed. This experiment expands upon that observation to state that
this work, or line integral, may have two different possibilities. In one instance, the work depends on the
path and is considered
non-conservative
, while in the other, it is path-independent and therefore,
conservative
. From the second case, the work can be derived such that the potential energy is equal to the
kinetic energy, or,
U
f
+ KE
f
= U
i
+ KE
i
Where each side is the
total mechanical energy, E
. If E is conserved such that
E
f
=E
i
, this is
referred to as the
conservation of energy
.
Procedure
The procedure was followed fairly closely to that of the write-up with a few differences. For
section 3, we only used heights of 15cm and 25cm and did not include 35cm. We also only used the
rubber tube and not the paper tube. One significant mistake that occurred during this part happened due to
being new to the calipers. When measuring the diameter of the tube, the inches side was accidentally used
instead of the centimeters side. This is a serious problem because this diameter is entered as the Flag
Width in Capstone. As a result, all of the data was off and my partner and I had to repeat this step. In
section 4, we ensured to not make the same mistake. For this section, we also only used heights of 7cm
and 15cm. For section 5, it only took 3 tries to get a fully successful run.

For question 1 I am not sure how to solve it because the frequency is in kilohertz and I don't know how to convert it into something that I can use.
For the speed of light in this question, would it be best to use 3 x 10^8 m/s or 3 x 10^5 km/s?
