Energy Skate Park Part 2: Design your own park
Energy Skate Park Part 2: Design your own park
Design your own park and track the type of energy present.
Simulation set-up:
Select Pie Chart and Speed in the PlayGround Mode to show the types of energy present.
Uncheck 'Stick to Track'
Choose your own amount of friction.
Use your investigation to plan a track that is fun, challenging and one that is relatively safe. You might think for example: When does the skater: fly off an end? make it to the top of a hill? or land a jump?
Build a good track and sketch it. Then use the Energy Graphs to study the Skater’s energy.
Decide which graphs or chart best helps you understand what makes your track successful
Look in your text/website to find out what the Conservation of Energy means and explain it in your own words.
Explain why your track is successful in terms of Conservation of Energy. Include drawings (screenshots) of the Chart or Graphs to help explain your reasoning.
Screenshot your track and submit it in the assignment on GC.
Using the Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy, explain what things need to be considered when designing any successful track.
Energy Pie Chart Practice
Energy Pie Chart Practice
From the Defining a System page:
Choose a minimum of 5 points in the action.
Identify those points in a diagram.
Using an EPC, identify the various types of energy present at each point.
