Work-energy theorem on a rough track

A block pushed by a force along a rough surface and then up a ramp. Track work by applied force, friction and gravity; verify W_net = ΔKE and see energy dissipated as heat.

About this experiment

What you do in the lab

Change the controls and watch the physics behave in real time in 3D. Live readouts and graphs show the numbers behind it, and the Learn tab has the theory, procedure, observations and viva questions. Works on a phone or a laptop, in English and Hindi.

Topics: work · kinetic energy · work-energy theorem · friction · power
