Lab 4 - Conservation of Energy on an Incline Purpose: In Lab 4, Conservation of Energy on an Incline, an expression was written in order to determine the total mechanical energy of the system. The position and speed were measured/determined with the help of the falling mass that was attached to the cart. Using this information we can tell if total mechanical energy was conserved and whether or not the energy transfer rate between the cart and the hanging mass was constant throughout the entire motion. Procedure: A diagram of the system was drawn, and important features such as masses and height were labeled appropriately. An expression was written for the total mechanical energy of the system. Before using the Capstone software some of the information had to be entered into the system manually. Multiple runs of the system were completed until an accurate graph was created by the Capstone software. The most efficient way found to run the experiment was to raise up the hanging mass manually and to let it fall to the ground. The experiment was repeated with a different hanging mass, and the Capstone software also created a graph for this trial as well. Both graphs were uploaded to the computer for later analysis if needed. Data and Calculations: During the experiment the energy is expected to be constant. While both the hanging mass and the cart will have kinetic and potential energy, the hanging weight will have a smaller total energy and the cart (larger mass) will have a larger total energy.
