CER: Law of Conservation of Energy Pre-Write
Students are performing a pendulum lab. The ball on the end of the
pendulum has a mass of 0.5 kg. At point A the pendulum is at the
top of its swing at 0.6 meter. At point C the potential energy is 0.6J.
Write a scientific explanation that answers the following question.
What is the velocity at point C?
(Assume the acceleration due to gravity, g, is 10 m/s2)
0.6 m
