PHY 122 Chapter Notes -Kinetic Energy
Document Summary
The objective of this lab is to verify the conservation of energy in three different settings g and obtain values for average+ g. The equipment used in this lab was a spring with a hooked mass, a pendulum, a motion sensor, a computer with data studio and loggerpro and a video of a man shooting a basketball. For part one, a pendulum was given an initial speed and the sensor recorded the position versus time. Then, using graphical analysis, a graph was made plotting the total kinetic energy versus time, potential energy versus time and the total energy versus time. Then the kinetic energy was plotted versus the y position. Then, a video was opened of a man shooting a basketball and loggerpro was used to make a graph of energy versus time from the given positions and respective times.
