Investigation 7: Potential vs Kinetic Energy

Title Potential vs Kinetic Energy Question How does potential energy affect the motion of an object? Hypothesis Materials/Procedure Data Pull-back distance (in inches) Distance travelled (in inches) Time to travel Average speed in inches per second

Observation Questions 1 Observation Questions 1.) Which pull-back distance caused the car to go the farthest? Why? 2.) Which pull-back distanced caused the car to go the fastest? Why? 3.) If a car travelled 10 feet in 5 seconds, how fast is it travelling per second? 4.) How do potential and kinetic energy play a part in this experiment?
