ANALYSIS 1. What happens to the relative value of Potential Energy (PE) and Kinetic energy (KE) as the cart rolls down the track? The potential energy decreases as it is being transferred to kinetic energy when the car rolls down the track. 2. For each case, evaluate the total energy (E) of the cart. Is energy conserved? How do you know? Yes, energy is conserved. The total energy was the same for each trial conducted, with the value of 1.7. 3. Was friction present in this experiment? What effect would friction have? Do you see this in your data? No, there is no friction present in this experiment because the total energy stayed consistent within all trials. If friction was present, the total energies would be different because the friction would change the amount of energy conserved. In our data it is evident that there is no change in the total energy, hence there is no friction present.
