Bouncing balls experiment

Today we will be completing some questions about the practical we did earlier. First of all, save this address in your favourites, write it in your planner and put it in your phone as you will be using it often this year. click on the green links in the text for help answering the questions.

1. At what point did your ball bounce the highest?
2. Explain how you can give something gravitational potential energy or kinetic energy . Make sure you also havea look at the pictures and video further down the page.
3. Complete the activity on this link . In what units is eergy measured?
4. Complete the activity on this link by clicking 'run now'.  What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?
5. For the link above, what can you alter on the side to make the skater travel differently?
6. Watch this video, if it doesn't show on ou page try the link here . where would the bouncy bals have the highest potential energy? Where would they have the highest kinetic energy?
7. What things might have affected the height the balls bounced to?
8. Try this activity, or any of the options from this page.
