THE CONSERVATION OF MECHANICAL ENERGY IN A BODY

1- "Play" and observe how the objects' kinetic energy and potential energy change in the graph. USE THE PAUSE TO FOLLOW THE EVOLUTION OF THE VALUES

2- Change the mass of the objects and observe the kinetic and potential energies again.

BLUE object: mass = 14 Kg,       RED object: mass = 14 Kg.

BLUE object: mass = 7 Kg,        RED object: mass = 14 Kg.

BLUE object: mass = 7 Kg,        RED object: mass = 7 Kg.

3- How does the mass of the BLUE object affect the response of the RED object?

4- Can you find a relation between the kinetic and potential energies by looking at the graph?
