Lab Challenge How does the energy of a cart poised at the top of a hill compare to its energy at the bottom of the hill? Conservation of Energy
Background Gravitational Potential Energy, or energy of position, is defined by the equation: GPE = mgh For an object on earth, the mass m and the acceleration due to gravity g, remain constant. Hence, only the change in height h influences any change in Gravitational Potential Energy GPE. Conservation of Energy
For kinetic energy, or energy of motion, the equation is : For this same object of constant mass, any change in the kinetic energy KE is due to a change in velocity v. ... Background KE = mv2 12 Conservation of Energy
For a closed system the Total Energy TE is defined to be the sum of the different types of energy : TE = KE + GPE + Heat + Light + …We will create our own closed system, and limit the forms of energy changing to Kinetic and Gravitational Potential to observe how they change, and how they relate to the Total Energy of the system. TE = KE + GPE ... Background Conservation of Energy

The steps to the left are part of the procedure for this lab activity. They are not in the right order. Determine the correct sequence of the steps, then take a snapshot of this page. B. Connect the track to the rod stand using the rod clamp. C. Use distance d travelled and angle of track θ to find the maximum height h that the cart travelled. D. Begin collecting data, then tap the release button launch the cart.A. From your graph determine the distance d travelled by the cart.Sequencing Challenge Conservation of Energy
Setup Attach the End Stop to one end of the Dynamics Track then use the rod clamp to attach the opposite end of the track to the rod stand. Attach the Motion Sensor to the inclined end of the track with the face of the sensor pointed toward the end stop Make certain that the switch on the top of the motion sensor is set to the cart icon: Note: It is best to have the Rod Stand positioned next to the Motion Sensor so that it does not interfere with the sensor.Conservation of Energy
Mount the angle indicator to the side of the track as close to the motion sensor as possible. Connect the Motion Sensor to the SPARK Science Learning System. Use a balance to measure the mass of your cart , then record that value in kg in the text box to the right. Place the cart with the plunger extended on the track against the end stop. Setup Record the mass of your cart in the text box below then take a snapshot of this page. Conservation of Energy
Tap to begin data collection. After a few seconds tap to stop data collection. Record the initial position of the cart relative to the Motion Sensor from the digits display into the text box to the right, and then take a snapshot of this page. Setup Conservation of Energy
Make your selection below then take a snapshot of this page. Setup Q1: Why is the cart set in position with the plunger extended ? To determine the length of the plunger. To determine if the cart is existential. To determine the point of maximum spring compression. To determine the point where the plunger is no longer influencing the motion of the cart. Conservation of Energy
Setup Press the plunger on the dynamics cart all the way into the cart until it locks in place. Place the cart at the bottom of the track, resting the plunger end of the cart against the fixed end stop. Tap the plunger release trigger on the top of the cart launching the cart up the track . Observe how far up the track the cart travels. Adjust the angle θ of the track such that the cart does not get closer than 15 cm to the Motion Sensor when launched. Once you have settled on a suitable track incline angle , record the angle θ in the box below, then take a snapshot of this page. Note: The plunger release trigger is found on the top of the plunger-end of th`e cart. Conservation of Energy
Collect Data Press the plunger all the way into the cart until it locks in place. Set the cart at the bottom of the track. Tap to begin data collection. Tap the plunger release trigger launching the cart up the track. Let the cart bounce once or twice, then tap to stop data collection. Conservation of Energy
Analysis Use graph tools to find the distance d between where the cart left the bumper to the cart's closest point to the Motion Sensor. * To Find the Difference Between Two Data Points: Tap to open the tools palette. Tap and then tap two points on the data run. Adjust using both buttons and then tap . Tap to display the differences. Conservation of Energy
Use the distance d travelled and the angle of the track θ to calculate the maximum height h that the cart travelled.Use h, the acceleration due to gravity g ( 9.8 m/s 2), and the mass of the cart m to calculate the GPE of the system with the cart at the top of the track. Once you have calculated the maximum height h and the potential energy GPE of the system, record them below, and then take a snapshot of this page. AnalysisGPE = mgh Conservation of Energy
