Practical Activity 14-16

Class practical: This activity explores factors which affect the power output of a solar panel, and may lead to an...

Practical Activity 14-16

Class practical: Friction spoils the downhill and uphill experiment of a rolling ball on a curved track. This is Galileo's...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: When a pendulum is displaced, it stores energy gravitationally due to its increased height. When subsequently...

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: Machines let us move a large force using a small one, but they do not multiply energy. This demonstration...
