The Ramp—Energy Activity Name_______________________________ 1. Go to: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/the-ramp or find The Ramp application in the main PHET menu. 2. Start the application and do each of the following: Minimize the force graph. Click the Energy Graph button. Click the magnifying glass until the scale reads from 7500 J to -7500 J. Click the frictionless box on the right side. Use pause, go, replay and slow buttons to get accurate data. 3. Record your data below for each of the objects. File Cabinet Ramp Angle Position Total Energy Maximum Potential Energy Maximum Kinetic Energy Time to Strike Wall Time to Reach End of Ramp 10 ° 10 30 ° 10 45 ° 10 Dog Ramp Angle Position Total Energy Maximum Potential Energy Maximum Kinetic Energy Time to Strike Wall Time to Reach End of Ramp 10 ° 10 30 ° 10 45 ° 10 Piano—Adjust graph range to include -20000 J to 20000 J Ramp Angle Position Total Energy Maximum Potential Energy Maximum Kinetic Energy Time to Strike Wall Time to Reach End of Ramp 10 ° 10 30 ° 10 45 ° 10 1701.75 1701.75 1653.25 4900.00 6929.65 6929.65 3.23 sec 3.73 sec 4903.37 2.89 sec 4900.00 2.97 sec 6841.27 2.88 sec 1.46 sec 255.26 255.26 251.97 3.71 secs 1.07 sec 735 735 736.23 3.30 sec 1.76 sec 1039.45 1039.45 1043.28 3.35 sec 2.22 sec 3.12 sec 3803.95 3841.97 3828.94 6.5 secs 11025 11025 1.99 secs 11185.96 1.36 sec 1.77 sec 15411.12 1.59 sec 15591.70 15807.79
4. Start the application and do each of the following: Minimize the force graph. Click the Energy Graph button. Click the magnifying glass until the scale reads from 7500 J to -7500 J. Make sure the frictionless box is unchecked!!! . Use pause, go, replay and slow buttons to get accurate data. 5. Record your data below for each of the objects. File Cabinet—Position 15 angle 25 ° Time (sec) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Potential Energy (J) Kinetic Energy(J) Heat Energy(J) Total Energy(J) Sleepy Dog—Position 15 angle 25 ° Time (sec) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Potential Energy (J) Kinetic Energy(J) Heat Energy(J) Total Energy(J) 6212.49 6212.49 5765.19 149.34 297.96 6212.49 4423.29 621.07 1168.07 6212.49 4183.08 703.83 1325.59 6212.49 157.38 2117.17 3937.94 6212.49 4174.55 2034.94 6212.49 6212.49 6212.49 6212.49 6212.49 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87 555.40 277.81 98.67 178.92 575.15 177.78 657.27 274.60 931.87 931.87 931.87 931.87
Piano—Position 15 angle 25 ° Time (sec) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Potential Energy (J) Kinetic Energy(J) Heat Energy(J) Total Energy(J) Conclusions: 1. What happens to energy as the angle is changed? Why? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 2. Which object is quickest to strike the wall? Why? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 3. At different times what must be true about the sum of kinetic, potential and ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 4. What happens to the energy after the object hits the wall?

Why did the piano not hit the wall?

The energy turns into thermal energy after the object hits the wall because the kinetic energy transforms into heat. The piano did not hit the wall because it is too heavy and does not have enough kinetic energy to get it to keep moving The dog was the quickest to strike the wall because it was not as heavy as the piano and file cabinet. heat energies? Why?

6. When is kinetic energy largest? Why? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 7. When is potential energy largest? Why? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 8. When is heat energy largest? Why? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 9. PREDICT—How do you think the time trials would be different if there was no friction? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 10. Test your prediction. What went as expected and what did not? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 11. When there is no friction, where does energy leave the system? What would be different if the energy did not leave the system? ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Kinetic energy is the largest when its near the end of the ramp because all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy Potential energy is the largest at the top of the ramp because all energy is stored until the object starts heading down Heat energy is largest at the point where the object hits the wall because kinetic energy is turned into heat due to it's speed. It would be faster for the objects to reach the wall if there was no friction The energy leaves the system through thermal energy and gets transferred onto the wall, air, and ground It was quicker for the objects to reach the wall with no friction
