| 1 | Nose Basher |
Conservation of Energy
|
Stand against the wall. Bring the bowling ball up to your nose or chin. Release the ball without giving it any initial velocity. Stand very still and wait for the return. |
|
| 2 | Stopped Pendulum |
Conservation of Energy
|
Raise the pendulum a certain height. It will travel to nearly the same height on the opposite side whether it is "stopped" or not. The meter stick serves as a reference for the height of the pendulum. |
|
| 3 | Loop the Loop |
Conservation of Energy
|
Release the ball near the top of the track. The energy loss makes the minimum height necessary to complete the loop significantly higher than the calculated value. |
|
| 4 | Happy and Sad Balls |
Coefficient of Restitution
|
Drop bounce and no-bounce balls. Measure the height the bouncing ball is dropped from, and the height it bounces to, and calculate the coefficient of restitution. The sad ball will not bounce as it is made from energy absorbing material. |
