RPS & HPS "Bounce Efficiency" Exercise

In Class:
  • Review RPS HW 4.2: Conservation and Energy and Efficiency. Students hand in for timestamp and then receive back immediately so it may be used as reference for tonight's homework.
  • Exercise: calculate the "bounce efficiency" of a ball. Students bounce a ball, measure its height, and calculate the percentage "efficiency" of the bounce (recovery of potential energy of the ball after a single bounce).
  • No videos today.
Homework:
