Media Image

Students investigate changes in gravitational potential energy using paper clips, crumpled paper and shelves. They measure the masses of three paper clips and paper. They determine that the piece of paper has 3 times the mass of the three paper clips. They then place the objects on the floor, beneath the shelves. Determine the placement of the three paper clips and crumpled paper on the shelves so that both have equal gravitational potential energy.

Media Image

Two positively charged particles are attached to springs that are capable of stretching and compressing. A metal sphere is placed near each charged particle, as shown in the diagram.

A positive charge is slowly added to Sphere A. An equal amount of negative charge is slowly added to Sphere B. Assume that the two systems are isolated from each other.


How does the elastic potential energy change for each spring?

Both springs increase in PE

Spring A increases; Spring B decreases

Spring A decreases; Spring B increases

Both springs decrease in PE
