Work and Energy

Design a rollercoaster:
Design a rollercoaster to suit its safety inspection.

Ride a roller coaster for free!:
Choose the right starting height and loops and hills for the roller coaster to make it to the end of the track.

Potential Energy:
Choose the mass and the potential energy of the ball and observe its motion as it bounces.

Energy Skate Park:
Learn about conservation of energy with a skater. Take the skater to different planets and view the kinetic and potential energy.

Work done by friction:
View the work done on the block as it is pulled across the floor. Click on "Work done by friction" on the left hand menu.

Energy of a bouncing ball:
Study the potential, kinetic, and total energy in the graph as the ball bounces. Click on "Energy of a bouncing ball" on the left hand menu.

Work done by a spring:
Study the amount of work done by a spring as it displaces and find the relationship between the amount of work it does and its kinetic energy. Click on "Work done by a spring" on the left hand menu.

Work done by a pulling a block horizontally:
Adjust the mass and the pulling force and watch the graph of work done on the box.

Pulley Lab:
Calculate the amount of input force (work) done on the weight by looking at the force required to displace the weight to a certain height. The weight to be lifted and the efficiency of the pulley system can be adjusted.
