The document contains data from an experiment testing the work-energy principle. It includes tables of measurements for mass, velocity, work, kinetic energy, and more. It also lists 6 questions asking about whether work done equals change in kinetic energy within error, factors affecting the results, how well the results support the work-energy principle, comparing initial kinetic energy to potential energy, estimating energy lost to non-conservative forces, and whether results are consistent with conservation of mechanical energy.

Question 1. Is the work done on the cart, W, and the change in the cart’s kinetic energy, dK, the same within experimental err

Question 2. If the W and dK are different, discuss the factors that affect your results.

Question 3. How well do your results support the Work-Energy Principle?

Question 4. For the same Trial/measurement, compare the U_sp with the cart’s kinetic energy, K0. Are they
the same within experimental error or quite different? Briefly explain your answer.

Question 5. Give your estimate for the mechanical energy loss due to work done by non-conservative forces acting on the cart

Question 6. Are your experimental results consistent with the Conservation of Mechanical Energy principle?
