Conservation of Energy
Name: Cristel Alonzo
Date: 01/31/2024
Objectives:
To explore concepts of kinetic, potential and total energy with and without friction.
Theory:
Kinetic Energy, KE=½mv

.
Gravitational Potential Energy PE=mgh
Total Mechanical Energy, E=KE+PE= mgh + ½mv

Fg, the gravitational force, is a conservative force. The work done by the conservative force does
not depend on the path. In an alternative formulation: the work done by the gravitational force only depends on the starting and ending elevations, the path taken between those points does not make any difference.
Procedure:
The lab activity uses a simulation developed by the University of Colorado at Colorado Boulder. Conservation of Energy Click Here
From the main page “Energy Skate Park” select “Playground”. o
(You may need to click twice.)
From the right upper corner select: “Stick to Track” and “Speed”. Drag the 3 red dots from the bottom of the screen to design a ramp (straight line). o
Each of the three dots can be dragged individually to change the shape of the track.
Select the “Grid” and “Reference Height” option in the lower left corner. Adjust the height = 0 reference by dragging the yellow up and down arrows so that the dashed blue line passes through the center of the lowest red dot.
Drag the first dot to any height you wish. o
If you click on the middle dot you have the option to delete it. (X, not scissors!)
Press the “Pause” button then place the skater on the top of the hill. Select “Slow”. The “Play” and “frame by frame” should be displayed. The picture below is a guide for the general settings with the skater at h=4m and v=6.2m/s
There is a yellow tape measure tool in the lower right can be used to measure the height.
Analysis:
I Motion without friction.
Click “Play” and watch the simulation and notice the “speedometer”. You can press “Pause” to record the exact values of speed and height in the table below as the skater goes down the hill. The points 1-4 are part of the same run
, do not start with the skater from 4 different height!
1
st
row, the skater starts from rest, v=0m/s, and initial height is your choice
. The last row
corresponds to the skater reaching the ground level (h-0) and you need to record in the table the skater’s speed.
Choose 2 more points in the animation while the skater comes down the hill and record the heights and speeds in the table below. You can use the “frame by frame” option to move the skater down the hill and “Reset Skater” if you want to start over.
Calculate the initial KE, PE and total mechanical energy E for all points.
DO NOT type the units in each cell of a table, they are in the table’s header. DO NOT include calculations in the tables, just your answers. Use rounding!

Questions
1.
Does the Total Mechanical Energy for the skater stay the same? If you measured correctly the heights and the velocities, the answer is “YES”.
The Total Mechanical Energy for the skater does stay the same.
2.
Place the skater at the same height that you initially started with but in the air. Click play and let the skater to free fall. What is the speed of the skater when they get to h = 0m? Is it different than the speed from the table corresponding to h=0m?
The speed of the skater when they get to h=0m is 10.8 m/s. The speed is the same as the speed from the table.
3.
What effect would you expect track-skateboard friction to have? The track-skateboards friction would affect the velocity by slowing down the skateboarder.

The moment of inertia of a helicopter's rotor is 320kg. m². The rotor starts from rest
and at t = 0, the pilot begins by advancing the throttle so that the torque exerted on
the rotor by the engine (in N.m) is modelled by as a function of time (in seconds) by
T = 250t.

b) What is the rotor's angular velocity (in RPM) when it has turned ten
revolutions?

Most collisions are inelastic, meaning the kinetic energy is not conserved in the system. (a) What are the three most common ways for energy to leave a system during a collision? To the best of my knowledge, the use of the word "perfectly" in a perfectly elastic collision is not necessary. Any elastic collision is a perfectly elastic collision. Both concepts mean the kinetic energy is conserved. The use of the word "perfectly" in perfectly inelastic collisions is just telling you that the two objects end up sticking to each other (have the same final velocity). (b) Combine the equations for the 1-D conservation of linear momentum and the conservation of kinetic energy to create a third equation. Any two of these equations now contain all the information, so the three equations are said to be linearly dependent in math-speak. This means we only need to use any two equations for our solutions, naturally we will chose the simplest two. (c) Use two of these equations along with…

Wind power is defined as the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical
force to generate electricity. Wind power is an alternative to burning fossil fuels, and is
renewable and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.
Modern horizontal-axis wind turbines often use three blades. Theoretically, the
maximum power P (unit: watts) that a three-blade wind turbine can extract from the
wind power can be calculated as:
P = pAv³C₁.
. (Equation 1)
where p is the air density (kg/m³), A is the sweep area of the turbine (m²) and can be
calculated from the length of the turbine blades, and v is the wind speed (m/s). Cp is
the power coefficient that is unique to each turbine type. This coefficient represents
the amount of kinetic energy from the wind that is captured by the turbine. From the
Betz's limit law we know that the best power conversion possible is Cp,max = 0.59.

Blade length /= 50 m

Imagine that as an engineering intern you have been assigned the task of selecting a motor for a pump. After reviewing motor catalogs, you narrow your choice to two motors that are rated at 1.5 kW. Additional information collected is shown in an accompanying table. The pump is expected to run 4200 hours every year. After checking with your electric utility company, you determine the average cost of electricity is about 11 cents per kWh. Based on the information given here, which one of the motors will you recommend to be purchased?

PhysicsQ&A LibraryA child’s toy consists of a m = 31 g monkey suspended from a spring of negligible mass and spring constant k. When the toy monkey is first hung on the spring and the system reaches equilibrium, the spring has stretched a distance of x = 17.6 cm, as shown in the diagram. This toy is so adorable you pull the monkey down an additional d = 7.6 cm from equilibrium and release it from rest, and smile with delight as it bounces playfully up and down. 1. Calculate the speed of the monkey, ve, in meters per second, as it passes through equilibrium. 2. Derive an expression for the total mechanical energy of the system as the monkey reaches the top of the motion, Etop, in terms of m, x, d, k, the maximum height above the bottom of the motion, hmax, and the variables available in the palette. 3. Calculate the maximum displacement, h, in centimeters, above the equilibrium position, that the monkey reaches.
