Conservation of Mechanical Energy
by Anonymous
Potential and kinetic energy trade off as you vary the release height and switch friction on, showing when their sum stays constant.

About this app
Conservation of Mechanical Energy is an interactive high school physics learning app about how potential and kinetic energy change in pendulums and on an inclined track. Adjust release height, position, track point, friction, and swing count to observe energy conversion, speed changes, and mechanical energy loss. Mission-based activities guide learners through ideal energy conservation and the effects of friction and air resistance.
Use cases
- High school students studying mechanical energy
- Physics teachers demonstrating energy conversion
- Learners exploring pendulum motion and inclined tracks
- Classroom science experiments about friction and energy loss
Features
- Interactive pendulum view showing potential and kinetic energy percentages
- Adjustable pendulum release height and position
- Inclined-track activity linking height differences to speed
- Friction simulation with selectable levels and swing counts
- Mission-based tasks with reset and next controls
