Conservation of Energy Lab Honors Physics December 9‚ 2014 Date Performed: December 5‚2014 Instructor: Mrs. Kelly I. Objective: Calculate the speed of the Bunny on release from the table II. Procedure: 1. Gather All Materials 2. Place the bunny turned in on itself on the ground (this enables the toy to launch itself upward by suction; elastic and potential energy). Do so 5 times 3. Measure the height traveled by the stopper using a meter stick per each trial. 4. Using the measurements

QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)

Energy Conservation Reflexive diary: Individual essay Before completing this reflexive diary I would have considered myself fairly energy conscious. I would have still said I’m wasteful but I thought I was more aware than others. I thought I knew more about the environmental consequences of wasting energy than I did. Completing this diary really opened my eyes to the amount we all waste energy unnecessarily. Almost all of us don’t have a clue how much energy we consume. I had never thought about
Premium Energy conservation
Energy is one of the world’s greatest inventions of all time. We use energy on a daily basis for just about everything. Our way of life is based upon energy and how we use it. We use large amounts of energy for transportation and electricity. Due to the limited supply of resources available to us we need to make sure that we conserve them wisely so that these resources will be around for future generations. It is imperative that consumer start to take responsibility for their actions. There

alternative energy : bio fuel - "Ethanol in the Race of the Bio-Fuels " By: Thomas Dwyane Much talk has been going on about the use of the so-called alternative fuel sources in order to answer the demand of preserving the environment. One of the highest possible sources of this alternative fuel is ethanol‚ or that fuel which is derived from corn. Ethanol‚ also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol or more commonly referred to simply as alcohol‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ and slightly toxic chemical

General Papers 15 December 2014 Energy According to Mother Nature Network‚ green energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ plants‚ algae and geothermal heat. These energy resources are renewable‚ meaning they ’re naturally replenished. There are many different types of green energy such as wind energy‚ solar energy‚ and hydroelectric energy. Each type of energy is very diverse in the way it affects our society. “Last year‚ wind energy added nearly half of all new power
