Скачать или смотреть Kinetic Energy Car Ramp Experiment

In this experiment you will roll a car down three different ramps. Each ramp will be at a different height. Before doing this experiment, students should complete the “Car Ramp Velocity Experiment” so that they can record the velocity of the car in the data table. Students will repeat the procedure below for a ramp height of one book, two books, and three books.

Students will stack a book on the table and record its height
Students will lean the ramp against the book
Students will lay the ruler along the side of the ramp
Students will place the wooden block flush, against the base of the ramp
Students will release the car at the top of the ramp
Once the car hits the block students will measure how far the car displaced the wooden block and record it in their data table
Take a picture of your experimental set up and clean up your experiment site.

The velocity of the car was calculated in an previous experiment, which you can view    • Car Ramp Velocity Experiment  .
