Summary of Digital Lab: Energy: Free Fall
Summary
The goal of the Energy: Free Fall virtual lab is to allow students the opportunity to investigate into the factors that impact potential and kinetic energy. Students conduct their investigation into how height and mass can change potential, kinetic, and mechanical energy.
Driving Questions
- Determine how the height of the drop affects the kinetic energy at the lowest point.
- Determine how the height of the drop affects the potential energy at the highest point.
- Determine how the mass of the ball affects the mechanical energy at the lowest point.
