5. KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY
1) Record the height of the ramp above the table top.
2) Record the mass of the ball.
_cm =
_g =
kg
3) Calculate potential energy of the ball at the top of the ramp relative to the table top.
cm =
4) Record the height of the table.
5) Record the distance the ball traveled from the end of the ramp to where it hit the
floor.
_cm =
m
m
m
6) Use this equation and calculate the time the ball was in the air.
