Make an observation about the average height of the beanbag. How does it compare with your calculated kinetic energies for each speed? Does the height of the beanbag increase in equal increments with each step up in speed? Record these qualitative observations in Table B.

The kinetic energy in the solid and liquid phases is the same. The kinetic energy of the substance's particles will depend on the volume of the substance. The particles have less kinetic energy in the liquid phase than they do in the gas phase. They vibrate so quickly that the particles ionize and become plasma.

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
