Gravitational potential energy

Teaching will be very untraditional and flexible during the unit on energy. The students all have multiple disabilities and are in a self-contained setting most of the day. These disabilities impact all three students’ academics and behaviors. Lesson planning for this unit was and will continue to be strategic and complicated. In order for students to grasp each concept, the concept must be broken down into smaller concepts. Each lesson will have to be well paced, where each lesson does not go too

much energy is contained in different types of food. In order to understand the experiment, one must understand what energy is and the different types of energy that were explored in the experiment. Energy is the ability to get work done. There are many different types of energy that can help accomplish this. These include heat energy, kinetic energy, light energy, sound energy, and electric energy. In addition, there is another type of energy called potential, or stored energy. Potential energy

top of this hill, it has Gravitational Potential Energy. This energy can be calculated with the formula Ep = mgh. As the train starts to go down the other side of the hill, it changes its GPE into Kinetic energy and gains speed. AS the train continues to go around the track and finally come to a stop, it continues to change GPE into kinetic energy and vice versa. As the train climbs higher along the track, it gains more Ep, and as it gains more speed, it gains more Ek. Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Almost every person knows Benjamin Franklin. At the same time, people know him differently. Some people know Benjamin Franklin as a founding father or as a scientist or even as an economist. He had achieved various achievements in different fields, and his achievements are still influencing our lives. While he has achieved numerous achievements in various fields, this paper will focus on his achievements as a scientist and an inventor. As the scientist, he has established various scientific terms

inertial, gravitational and centripetal forces. Amusement parks keep building faster and more complex roller coasters, but the fundamental principles at work remain the same. A roller coaster is like train. It consists of a series of connected cars that move on tracks. But unlike a passenger train, a roller coaster has no engine or power source of its own. For most of the ride, a roller coaster is moved only by the forces of inertia and gravity. The only exertion of energy occurs

interested me because I love basketball and I love learning more about the sport. I love this project because I can use my results when I play basketball it can tell me how much energy that I am using will dribble the basketball. My hypothesis of this project is that a harder surface rather than a softer surface will absorb less energy thereby increasing how high a basketball will bounce when dropped from a specific height. My independent variable is that I will change the surfaces that the basketball is

the center of the toy to turn inside out. Then, one can drop it on the ground and watch it bounce/pop right back up. When activating the Zeebeez (turning it inside out) elastic potential energy is involved. Then when the Zeebeez hits the floor, it causes it to go back to its original position, giving the Zeebeez the energy it needs to bounce exceeding the height in which it was dropped.

accelerating object. The rider also changes speed. As the rider begins to climb upward the loop, he/she begins to slow down. What we talked about suggests that an increase in height results in a decrease in kinetic energy and speed and a decrease in height results in an increase in kinetic energy and speed. So the rider experiences the greatest speeds at the bottom of the loop. The change in speed as the rider moves through the loop is the second part of acceleration which the riders experiences. A rider

Name Mohammad Abuabeeleh Real toy energy investigation – you must choose a real-life toy and qualitatively describe the energy transformations that occur in its operation (for example: in a music box, a dial is turned to wind up a spring. You are doing work to wind the spring, which is stored as elastic potential energy of the music box. After the dial is released, the spring unwinds and converts its potential energy into kinetic energy of the ballerina.) Toy chosen: The toy chosen is the
