Hole Number: _______
Release of Car will be the highest point
Mass of Car: _______ g /1000 = _______ kg
(Use at least one ball bearing in your car)
Positions on the Ramp (Top, Upper, Middle, Lower, Bottom)
0cm 20cm 40cm 60cm 80cm
Procedures:
1. Place car at the top of ramp. Measure the amount of gravitational potential energy by measuring its
height above the table in centimeters, then subtract 10 cm for the height of the base. Convert it to
meters by dividing the amount of cm by 100, and calculate the gravitational potential energy using
π‘¬π’ˆ = π’Ž βˆ™ π’ˆ βˆ™ 𝒉
.
2. Place the A photo gate on 20 cm from the top of the ramp (each mark is 5 cm). Be sure the timer box is
set on interval and only β€˜A’ photo gate light is lit up. Release the car from the top of the ramp. Take the
1cm distance of the flag on the car and divide it by the time on the timer. Convert that number to
meters/second by dividing it by 100.

3. Use the velocity you just found to plug into the formula for kinetic energy π‘¬π’Œ = 𝟐 π’Ž βˆ™ π’—πŸ .
4. Calculate the total amount of energy by adding the amount of gravitational potential energy to the
amount of kinetic mechanical energy.
5. Repeat steps 2-5 for the photo gate position of 40, 60, and 80 cm.
6. Create a line graph with three different lines of kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and total
energy in three different colors.

Below write a conclusion of your results including each of the following:
Purpose – experimental question put into a sentence
Data – explain the averages for each IV group
Hypothesis – rewrite the hypothesis and tell if the data SUPPORTED your hypothesis or not
Patterns – describe how the IV affected the DV, based on your graph
Recommendations – how could your experiment be improved, what are possibilities for error?

1. Describe what happens to Potential, Kinetic and Total Energy as the car moves down the ramp. (1 pt)
2. Why does the Kinetic Energy for the car at the end of the ramp not match the Potential Energy at the
beginning? Where was some of the energy β€œlost”? (1 pt)
