Question

For this lab we will be using "The Skate Park" simulation from PhET. You can run this simulation by clicking on the following image. This will open in a new window. You need JAVA to run this. If you have trouble, after installing JAVA, try copying and pasting the following link into a new window: http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/energy-skate-park/energy-skate-park_en.jar

---------------------------------

Based upon the equation for potential energy, how do you expect the potential energy to change when the gravity is lower than it is on Earth (for example, gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2 )? Use the option boxes to move the skater to Jupiter, where acceleration due to gravity is 26 m/s2.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Describe any differences you see in potential and kinetic energy between the Earth and Jupiter. Use the option boxes to move the skater to the moon where the acceleration from gravity is 1.6 m/s2.
