Today, we started off class by going over the arduous 25 problem homework about conservation of energy. Mrs. Coats-Haan praised our class for standing out among the other Honors Physics classes in work ethic, especially on our recent ticker tape lab. Then we worked on a lab called the Conservation of Energy with Hall's Carriage. It can be found on page 125 of the lab manual. This lab report is due 2/8/12 and the only homework for tonight is to work on the online simulation due tomorrow as well as the home energy survey.
The answer to the question of the day is final kinetic and potential energy can equal zero when the height is zero and when the moving object moves across a surface with great friction, causing it to slow to a stop by the work done by friction.
