Thank you very much. Also for the equation that will come in handy.

Thank You Two trial were done both had the same time(.421) and Δy(-.87m) Note: Only the displacements are as is. All other calculations and number I did not round until I got to the percentage of kinetic energy lost(the very end). Used G=-9.8m/s^2 Trial 1 Ball 1 Δx=.131m V after...

Yes. You have everything correct.

Homework Statement We are doing a lab in my physics class. We have to calculate the percentage of Kinetic energy lost in an inelastic collision. I believe that I have the right answer but it seems a little high (44%) the one marble is rolling down a flat track and hits a stationary ball at the...

That was easy enough! But about the limits. Would the lower and upper limits be the points where the particle oscillates between?

Homework Statement A conservative force F(x) acts on a 3.0 kg particle that moves along the x axis. The potential energy U(x) associated with F(x) is graphed in Figure 8-60. When the particle is at x = 3.0 m, its velocity is -1.0 m/s. The "kinks" in the graph occur at (1, -2.8), (4, -17.2)...
