Students:
- Calculate
gravitational and elastic potential energies and use
these calculations to predict the work required from
a robot.
- Interpret
the results of work-energy measurements, including cases
with variable forces and significant amounts of friction.
- Discuss
the use of numerical integration to estimate and control
the cumulative results of a process.
The
activity uses the SAM
Robot with a motion detector, a force sensor
and the LabPro. (Since this activity
requires
2 digital
ports, it does not work
with the CBL2.)
