Use the simulation in your science or Physics class to illustrate conversion from Gravitational Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy.
Simulation Summary: GPE to KE Transfer
This simulation shows a mass falling from a height.
At the top:
- Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is high.
- Kinetic energy (KE) is low.
As the mass falls:
- Height decreases.
- GPE decreases.
- Speed increases.
- KE increases.
At the bottom:
- GPE is minimal.
- KE is maximal.
The energy bars visually show the transfer from GPE to KE while total energy remains constant (ignoring air resistance).
