Lab 4: Energy Skate Park This lab requires the use of the Phet simulation: Energy Skate Park. The simulation can be accessed at: https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/ene ... cs_en.html Part 1: Intro 1. Select the simulation labeled: "Intro" 2. Select "bar graph" and "speed" in the box at the top right. 3. Click and drag the skater to place him on the top of the ramp. Select "slow motion" from the options at the bottom. 4. Observe how the speed, kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy change as the skater moves. Describe each in detail below: a. speed: b. kinetic energy: c. potential energy: d. total energy: 5. Explain why each quantity changes as it does based on what you have learned in chapter 6. 6. Was energy conserved in this simulation? How do you know?
