EF-2.4 – Dynamics – Potential and Kinetic Energy
The EF-2.4 kit will allow students to verify Hooke’s law, teach them about energy transfer from potential to kinetic energy using a simple pendulum as well as using a flywheel to show the energy transfer from potential to kinetic and that it can be transferred back again via storage and release.
Description
The kit will allow students to verify Hooke’s law, teach them about energy transfer from potential to kinetic energy using a simple pendulum as well as using a flywheel to show the energy transfer from potential to kinetic and that it can be transferred back again via storage and release.
The Engineering Fundamentals range enables students to gain an understanding of the principles of engineering by the process of learning via experimentation.
The EF-2.4 Potential and Kinetic Energy experiments kit enables students to understand the difference between potential and kinetic energy and how it can transform from one to the other. The kit contains a flywheel, a pendulum and set of springs.
