Lab: “Determining Energy for a Rolling Ball”In this lab, you will be calculating a ball’s
kinetic energy as it rolls down a ramp and comparing that value to the potential energy that the ball has at the top of the ramp.

Lab: “Determining Energy for a Rolling Ball”Take a few minutes to read through the lab to
become familiar with the procedure…

Lab:“Determining Energy for a Rolling Ball”The first step in conducting this lab it to make
a data table to record your data.You will be making a ramp out of a piece of
wood and a stack of books.You release a ball from the top and time the
amount of time it takes to reach the bottom of the ramp.

Lab:“Determining Energy for a Rolling Ball”Using the equations for kinetic and potential
energy, you will calculate both the kinetic and potential energy of the ball and compare the two.
You will test 3 different ramp heights and compare the energies you find.
Once everyone is finished collecting data, we will come back into the classroom for the calculations.

Lab Calculations1. To convert grams to kilograms:
a. Divide your number of grams by 1,0002. To find the average time ball traveled (s):
a. Time ball traveled for trial #1Time ball traveled for trial #2
+ Time ball traveled for trial #3Answer
b. Divide Answer by 3 to get average time (s)

Lab Calculations
5. To calculate final kinetic energy (J):a. Use the equation for kinetic energy
KE = ½ X (mass of ball) X (final speed)2
6. To calculate initial potential energy (J):a. Use the equation for potential energyPE = (mass of ball) X (9.8 m/s2) X (ht of ramp)

Defending Your ConclusionsOn a separate piece of paper, answer these
questions on COMPLETE SENTENCES using information from your data table.
Be sure to answer ALL PARTS of the questions, not just a Yes or No…
