EXPERIMENT 6: WORK AND ENERGY Objective: To validate the work-energy theorem and to study the conservation of energy principle. Theory: The work-energy theorem states that the net (total) work done on a system is equal to its increase in kinetic energy. You will determine the work done on a (nearly) frictionless cart and show that the work done ...
The experiment that sample report is written for is called “Work & Energy”. The primary purpose of experiment is to examine the relationship between potential and kinetic energy by measuring the speed and stopping distance of a toy car that rolls down a ramp to the bottom where it is then stopped by (sliding) friction.
Two new concepts are useful in further studying various types of physical interactions–work and energy. In this lab, you will begin the process of understanding the scientific definitions of work and energy, which in some cases are different from the way these words are used in everyday language.
Labs for Work and Energy. Lesson Plans || Learning Outcomes and Activities || Teacher Notes || Labs. We have a collection of ~150 labs in the Laboratory section of the website. Each lab was intended to be used with a lab notebook where students report their data and findings and state their conclusion with supporting evidence and reasoning.
WORK AND ENERGY EXPERIMENT. Introduction. This lab has two goals. The first is checking the validity of the work-energy theorem. You will measure the work done by a force acting on a cart and also measure the change in kinetic energy of the cart to verify if they are equal. The second goal is to check the conservation of mechanical energy.
Day 1 of Work and Energy. Lesson Plan. Introduce new unit; discuss Work. Definition; examples and non-examples; equation, units, sample calculations; scalar quantity, + vs. - work; use Q#1-6 of Work Think Sheet. Lab 1 - It's All Uphill. Do and post-lab with attention given to theta; do Q#7 of Work Think Sheet.
Work and Energy Notebook Labs. View: Auxilliary Items | Scoring Rubrics. The following items should be in the Work and Energy portion of your notebook. They should be clearly organized and easy to find. Use an organizational system and label all work. Each lab will be graded separately. E1. It's All Uphill Lab. Question:
