PHY 101L Module Five Lab Report (1)

The ball at the top of the incline is potential energy. Once it goes down the incline it is kinetic energy. If the ball comes to a stop at the bottom it can convert back to potential until something pushes it again. 4. Include your data in both table and graph format below. Use proper titles and labels on your table and graph.

Include any calculations that you used to analyze your data below. I converted cm to m by dividing by 100, grams to kg by dividing by 1000. The acceleration was 2d/t^2. The graviational potential energy was found by mgh with the height being 10 cm or 0.10m for the height the incline was off the ground. The velocity was found by distance/time for
