T 1/31

🟢 5: Th 1/26 - "work"

The concept of “work” is slightly different than the definition we use in every day life. Today, we will review how to calculate work and how this relates to the concept of energy.   We will also define gravitational potential energy as well as kinetic energy, and derive equations for both.

💚 5: T 1/31, 💙 7: T 1/31 - 📓 energy conservation pendulum lab (1

Today, we'll start by finishing the Work & Energy Presentation (slides 1-22) if we had not finished them last time.  

Then, we'll do a lab where we investigate how work and energy are related.  You'll observe how energy transformations occur in a simple pendulum.  You'll learn to use a Vernier photogate timer to find the velocity of the pendulum.  Here's the setup:

Raise the pendulum mass to a height above its lowest (equilibrium) position.  Release and measure the velocity as it passes through its lowest position.  Repeat for at least 6 different release heights.  Graph velocity (m/s) vs. release height (m).  Find the mathematical relationship (equation) between velocity and release height, linearizing the graph if necessary.

Answer the following analysis questions in your lab notebooks:
