  3. Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion–the ball swinging or the arrowing flying through the air.
  4. There is a formula to figure out the kinetic energy of an object. Physicists use this to figure out if their roller coaster will work. The formula is Kinetic Energy equals One Half of the Mass of the object times its Speed Squared. The equation looks likes this.  KE = 1/2 mv^2   (OR .5 X mass X speed X speed)
  5. Go to this page and try the problems 1 and 2 at the bottom. You can use a calculator.

noun

1.
Mechanics. a rigid bar that pivots about one point and that is used tomove an object at a second point by a force applied at a third.
Compare machine (def 4b).

Day 23
The next simple machine is the wheel and axel.
  1. Watch this video on wheel and axel.
  2. Title and date your page about wheel and axel in your NB.
  3. Write down your own definition of what a wheel and axel is.
  4. Look at how a doorknob works.
  5. Make a conveyor belt of pencils. Draw a picture of it in your NB when you're done. -- The pencils are your wheels. Choose something heavy to push. (Because books are usually smooth, choose a really heavy one or a stack of a few.) Write down how different is it pushing something heavy across a rug and pushing something across your pencil conveyor belt?
  6. How does your conveyor belt make your work (your work of pushing your heavy object) easier? Explain this in your NB.
  7. If you take one of those pencils and poke it through two bottle caps, you have created an axel.
