Roller Coaster Group Examples

(Pull up Roller Coaster questions and project onto board for Group perusal)

Note to class: We will begin these by assigning questions to each group in succession. Often, each group will build upon what the previous group just completed. This is actually a relatively fun set of examples (since the results are so satisfying).

Lab: 3-Energy TransformationFill-out the following graphic as you collect and analyze the lab experiment:

PEgravity = mgh (GPE)PEspring = ½kx2 (EPE)

TOP:PEgravity = ________PEspring = ________KE = ________Etotal = ________

MIDDLE:PEgravity = ________PEspring = ________KE = ________ Vmax=____Etotal = ________

BOTTOM:PEgravity = ________PEspring = ________KE = ________Etotal = ________

h or x(the same)

TOP:PEgravity = ________PEspring = ________KE = ________Etotal = ________

MIDDLE:PEgravity = ________PEspring = ________KE = ________ Vmax=____Etotal = ________

BOTTOM:PEgravity = ________PEspring = ________KE = ________Etotal = ________

NOTE: There is a spreadsheet which we need to look at to visualize the 3-Energy Transformation, AFTER.

FIRST! You must find k for your spring!

HMWK #4:p. 98 #’s 21, 22; 27.

p. 99 #’s 10, 16; 17 (#17 requires you to “teach” yourself the POWER formula! It is a basic relationship and an important one. Be ready to use this on our test).

p. 102 #’s 57, 58; 60.

As usual for these, we will begin next class by collecting the homework and presenting these as Group Examples.

• On Tuesday we will begin wrapping up our Unit One materials. Depending on how far we get, we will likely have a review on Thursday and a Test on that next Tuesday. (This is subject to variation…)
