Physics

Work, Energy and Momentum

This unit covers motion from the perspective of work and energy. The affect that work has upon the energy of an object (or system of objects) will be investigated and the resulting velocity and/or height of the object can then be predicted from energy information. This unit will focus on the definitions and meanings of such terms as work, mechanical energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and power.

    Energy of a Roller Coaster

    In this lesson, students begin with an exploration of the relationships between work, potential energy, and kinetic energy using. The simulation uses a block that is either lifted and dropped or is pulled up an incline and allowed to slide back down. These concepts are then applied to a simulation of a roller coaster car moving along a track.
