Kinetic vs Potential Energy

2. Pendulums

3. Watch the relationship between kinetic and potential energy

4. Build and Test your Pendulum
Tie the washer securely to the string
Tie the string securely to the pencil
Hold the pencil on the edge of your desk
Swing the pendulum and record the number of transformations from kinetic to potential
Record how long it took before your pendulum came to rest
Do three trials, Record all data in a table.

5. Conclusion
What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?
How did the pendulum illustrate the relationship between kinetic and potential energy ?
Did your trials all have the same results? Why do you think they did or did not?
Graph your data!
