Blast Off Lab Report

407 Words2 Pages

In the “Blast Off” lab, we had launched a foam rocket into the air by pumping air into a nozzle, shooting the rocket up, and then recording the time from launch to when it hit the ground. I have learned and now understand the mechanics of kinetic and potential energy.
The experiment I had conducted relates to energy in that as we observed the rocket, its energy was constantly transforming as it was in motion. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy based on its motion. Potential energy is energy based on an object’s shape or position. Mechanical energy is the combination of all energies. An energy being transformed is when it is changed into another form of energy. Kinetic energy, for example, can be transformed into potential energy. The

    Kinetic energy is moving energy and can be found through the equation KE=(½)mv². Energy is measured in the units of Joules or j. Potential energy is another form of energy that is energy that has the ability or potential to make matter move once it is released. Energy cannot be destroyed or created, rather is is transformed into other types of energy (for example kinetic to electrical). Mass is also another type of energy (mass energy) and it is just the mass of an object or the energy of being. Chemical changes cause atoms to be altered or changed while physical changes do not affect the chemical state of an object.

    ST Report In the experiment, the problem was the contaminants that were affecting the quality of the water samples. To fix this issue, three scientists had to determine the contaminants that were present in the samples. One sample was from the school sink and the second sample was from an unknown source. The scientists conducted many tests to figure out what pollutants were present in the water.

    Throughout each step of a Rube Goldberg Machine, energy conversions are what make a machine capable of continuing to work properly. Typical Rube Goldberg Machines begin with numerous objects containing high amounts of potential energy that are ready to be converted to kinetic energy. The conversion between potential to kinetic energy allows each object to complete steps like knock over dominos or lowering a pulley. If a Rube Goldberg Machine did not contain energy conversions of great magnitude, the end goal task may not be completed. Thus, precise energy conversions are essential to a working Rube Goldberg

    Kinetic and Potential energy transformation in a roller coaster Kinetic energy is energy in motion; in physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed, kinetic energy like energy is expressed in joules. "Kinetic energy depends on speed more than mass.

When the pole is nearly straight, the pole vaulter lets go of the the pole and travels over the bar. When the pole snaps back the stored elastic strain energy is transformed into the gravitational potential energy.

    This relationship is shown using the formula Ep=mgh, where Ep ∝ m, g, h. As the ride continues, there will be multiple changes in energy, where Ep converts to Ek, and vice versa. Kinetic energy is dependent upon the mass of an object and the velocity it is travelling at.

    Energy is the ability and capacity to do any type of work. There are different forms of energy- like Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy, Thermal Energy, Electrical Energy, Mechanical Energy, Chemical Energy, nuclear Energy. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Nuclear Energy is the energy which is stored in the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleus of an atom splits or when two nuclei of different atoms combine, a large amount of energy is released in the form of heat and radiation.

Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.
