    Calculating Percent of Kinetic Energy Lost

    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...

    Calculating Percent of Kinetic Energy Lost

    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...

    Help with Potential Energy Curve question

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

    Help with Potential Energy Curve question

    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)...
