Philip Harris Foundation Physics - Kinetic & Potential Energy Ramp
Philip Harris Foundation Physics - Kinetic & Potential Energy Ramp
Product code: AP00054185
Product Description
Foundation Physics - Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp
Please Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included with the Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp and will need to be purchased separately using code PP00054183.
- The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum. The Universal Stand is required for each add-on.
When used with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand, this Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp can be used to investigate conservation of energy in relation to a marble rolling up or down a track. A photogate system (not included) could be used to measure the time, velocity and speed of the marble.
The Kinetic and Potential Energy Ramp includes:
- 1 x Energy Ramp
- 1 x Mounting Bolt
- 1 x Steel Ball (19.11mm)
- 1 x Plastic Ball (19.11mm)
- Instructions
- Teachers Guide
- Student Guide
Additional apparatus required:
- Foundation Physics Universal Stand
- Metre Ruler
- Photogate System
- Meter Ruler
- Combine with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand (available separately) to teach around and demonstrate Motion and Forces.
- Suitable for staff and student use.
- The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum.
- Key Stage 3 Physics - Speed and the quantitative relationship between average speed, distance and time (speed = distance ÷ time). Forces being needed to cause objects to stop or start moving, or to change their speed or direction of motion (qualitative only)
- Key Stage 4 Physics - Explain the vector-scalar distinction as it applies to displacement, velocity and speed. Explain that motion in a circle involves constant speed but changing velocity (qualitative only). Make and interpret measurements of distances, times, speeds and accelerations,and represent these in graphical form.
Activities could include:
- Introduction to the Conservation of Energy
- Conservation of translational energy
- Introduction to energy lost due to friction
- Energy lost due to friction
- Conservation of Mechanical Energy
- Conservation of translational and rotational energy.
