Gravitational potential energy

Physics of Pinball Pinball is a fast pace game of physics and skill. With the knowledge of the mechanics and the physics of how the game works it can be played more effectively. Friction, gravity, potential energy, kinetic energy, circuits and momentum are just a few of the aspects of physics apply. The first thing to do to start a game of pinball is to insert the coin. This alone requires many fundamental aspects of physics. The player inserts the coin and lets gravity take over. Gravity

the tennis ball remained consistent when the drop height changed. Hypothesis If the height in which the ball is dropped from is increased, then the tennis ball will increase in bounce height. This is because the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed and transferred. Explanation of outline of Modification The modification of this experiment was the alteration of the drop heights. Three different heights of; 1 m, 1.2m, and 1.5m were

motivate the concept of power, or rate at which energy is transformed, and to apply it to the rate at which students do work to increase their gravitational potential energy in climbing a flight of stairs. IDEA: Students are asked to measure their gain in gravitational potential energy as they climb a flight of stairs, then to calculate the rate at which this potential energy is gained. This is followed by asking students to calculate their body’s energy needs for a day, both to perform various physical

conservation of mechanical energy. This was done so by using two different methods: (1) to test the conservation of mechanical energy using a cart with a load set on a PASCO track attached to a hanging mass by a string and pulley, and (2) to test the conservation of mechanical energy using a spring attached to a hanging mass. . In the first part of the lab involving gravitational potential energy, the theoretical value to be consistent with the law of conservation of mechanical energy was 0 J/m, but instead

The Physics of Team Fortress 2 Research and Presentation AP Physics 1 Carlos Arias Paradise Valley High School 5 December 2016  Abstract Arthritis is a medical condition that causes joint inflammation, stiffness, and resulting pain. This disease affects an estimated 40 million Americans, with a positive correlation towards old age. Opening medication bottles can be difficult for arthritis patients who struggle to open twist lids, snap lids, and click-locks. Janet Kramer is an arthritis patient

hands of potential energy and kinetic energy (“Roller Coaster”). Mechanical energy is used to lift the train cars to the top of the hill. Once it reaches the top of the hill, the car has a very large amount of potential energy. After the car reaches the top and begins its descent, it loses potential energy with the loss of height and gains kinetic energy. Each time the coaster goes up a hill, it loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy (“Energy Transformation”). Although potential and kinetic

Energy Paper There are many forms of energy. The types of energy that can affect the toy car are potential energy, kinetic energy, and work of friction. Potential is the energy of an object due to its position. Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion. Friction plays a part because it shows how much energy is needed for the car to move. All these energies are intertwined in the toy car. Potential energy is the energy that is stored in the toy car. When an object is not moving the object has

The Effect of the Height of a Crater on Its Diameter My aim is to investigate the effect of testing varying heights on the size of the diameter of the crater formed. Introduction: A celestial body is an astronomical object or irregular body that varies in size and composition they are generally found in the inner solar system and mainly move in indirect orbits. When they are about to hit a moon or planet it causes the body to heat up, due to the friction between the body and the surface being collided

the energy conversions involved: - Some important factors that affect the size of the crater are, the weight of the marble, the size and shape of the marble, the depth and type of sand, the material of the marble and the speed at which the marble is thrown. Prediction I predict that as the height at which the marble is dropped increases, the size of the crater will also increase. This will be the same with both marbles. The reason for the increase is due to the increase in kinetic energy as indicated
