<strong>Energy</strong> Law<br />
In the space below, draw <strong>and</strong> label a diagram to show the egg experiment as<br />
seen on the video. Be sure to include all labeled parts in your diagram. At the<br />
bottom of the page, write the conclusion that was drawn from completing this<br />
experiment.<br />
All diagrams should include the specific materials used for the experiment -<br />
egg, string, sticky tape, <strong>and</strong> ring st<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The egg should be connected to the string with the stick tape <strong>and</strong> the string<br />
should be connected to the ring st<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The pendulum arrangement should be clearly shown.<br />
Conclusion<br />
when the pendulum swings back <strong>and</strong> forth its potential energy has been converted to<br />
kinetic energy <strong>and</strong> vice versa. When the pendulum is pulled up against the wall the<br />
egg isn’t moving so it is in maximum potential energy. Once the pendulum is released<br />
into motion, its potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic energy. The pendulum<br />
has different amounts of potential <strong>and</strong> kinetic energy throughout its entire swing.<br />
These different amounts of energy always add up to the original amount of energy<br />
the pendulum started with.<br />
