Conservation of Energy on Inclined Track
As a cart rolls freely downhill, gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The cart is released from the same height, multiple times, with the photogate measuring the speed at a different location for each run. Both potential and kinetic energy are measured at various heights.
