Purpose:
6A: The purpose of this part of the experiment is to demonstrate the relationship that
gravitational potential energy has with kinetic energy of an object falling independent of external
forces.
6B: The purpose of the second part of the experiment was to see how the height of an object
changed the gravitational potential energy it had.
6C: The purpose of the last part of this experiment was to be able to compare the work done on
an object and the object’s change in kinetic energy.
