Product Details

AP Physics 1, Big Idea 5, Investigation 7

Runaway trucks rely on the conversion of kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy to stop when they veer onto ramps on the sides of expressways. This lab explores that very principle on a smaller scale with spring-loaded carts and inclined planes. This lab begins with an introductory activity in which students propel a spring-loaded cart up an inclined plane. As they perform the introductory activity, students will discover the effects (if any) of the inclined plane’s angle and cart’s mass on its travel distance up the inclined plane. The guided-inquiry activity challenges students to quantify the amount of energy lost by the cart due to friction and propel the cart up the inclined plane a specific distance. An additional inquiry activity is also presented, in which students elevate one end of an air track and measure a glider’s travel distance and speed following propulsion with a rubber band. 

Complete for 24 students working in groups of four. All materials are reusable.
