About This Lesson
A realistic mass and spring laboratory. Hang masses from springs and adjust the spring stiffness and damping. You can even slow time. Transport the lab to different planets. A chart shows the kinetic, potential, and thermal energy for each spring;
Sample Learning Goals
•Explain the Conservation of Mechanical Energy concept using kinetic, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
•Use your understanding of how a spring scale works to determine the mass of an unknown object.
•Find the value of g on Planet X.
This simulation would be good for middle school/9th grade physical science. Thanks for sharing.
