In the “Blast Off” lab, we had launched a foam rocket into the air by pumping air into a nozzle, shooting the rocket up, and then recording the time from launch to when it hit the ground. I have learned and now understand the mechanics of kinetic and potential energy.
The experiment I had conducted relates to energy in that as we observed the rocket, its energy was constantly transforming as it was in motion. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy based on its motion. Potential energy is energy based on an object’s shape or position. Mechanical energy is the combination of all energies. An energy being transformed is when it is changed into another form of energy. Kinetic energy, for example, can be transformed into potential energy. The
