Conservation of Mechan. Energy

There’s a new, engaging way to learn and apply your knowledge of science in a dynamic environment. Learn by doing and see the impact of being involved in what you learn.

Discover how the potential and kinetic energy of a block changes as it moves in a half pipe. Explore the effect of friction on motion. Try different levels of friction and compare the results!

• Release a block in a half pipe to observe its motion.
• Study the dynamic pie chart to see how much of the energy is kinetic or potential at any given time.
• Turn friction on and off. Use different levels of friction.
• Observe how the block loses energy due to friction.

App features:
• A dynamic simulator which will display the energy of the block at any given time.
• Try different amounts of friction and observe how it affects the motion.
• Watch animations that explain the concepts.
• Test your knowledge with interactive tasks and quizzes.
