High/Low Road

 

High/Low Road Demo Picture

  • Purpose: Demonstrate properties of gravitational potential
    energy.
  • Balls start moving and end with identical velocities, but ball on longer track traverses path more quickly.
  • Prove that balls end with identical velocities by showing they fall the same distance from the end of the track. Use carbon paper to show location of impact. 
  • Located in L02, section B2

  • Though balls start and end at same height and with same velocity,
    ball on longer track traverses path more quickly.
