Procedures
a) Set up rollercoaster ramps &
photogate timers.
b) Measure height, mass, &
velocity of the marble at 7
different positions.
c) Record Data in Table.
d) Graph data.
e) Write a conclusion.
DATA TABLE #1
How do you calculate GPE?
Measure: mass in Kg,
Gravity (9.8 m/s2
& height in m.
Don’t forget to convert grams to
kilograms
& cm to meters.
Data Table #2
How do measure KE?
Measure: mass in Kg,
& velocity in m/s.
Don’t forget to convert grams to
kilograms
& cm to meters.
You also must ½ the mass &
square the velocity
Graph Position Vs KE & GPE
Position is the ______________
variable; therefore goes on the
_______ axis.
Energy is the ______________
variable; therefore goes on the
_______ axis.
Draw a “ line of best fit” for both
graphs use 1 sheet of graph paper.
Title your graph.(also write your name on the paper)
• Label the X &Y axis.
• Scale the X & Y axis
• Mark your data on the same graph
• Draw a best fit line.
• Color the lines KE
