Question
Inspect your kinetic energy vs. time graph for the toss of the ball? Explain its shape.
Inspect your potential energy vs. time graph for the free-fall flight of the ball? Explain its shape.
What do you conclude from this graph about the total energy of the ball as it moved up and down in free fall? Does the total energy remain constant? Should the total energy remain constant? Why? If it does not, what sources of extra energy are there or where could the missing energy have gone?
What would change in this experiment if you used a very light ball, like a beach ball?
What would happen to your experimental results if you entered the wrong mass for the ball in this experiment?
