Demonstrate transformation of potential into kenetic energy
Demonstrate the transformation of potential into kenetic energy (centripetal acceleration).
A V-shaped metal track in the shape of a loop is fitted on a wooden base. Longer end of the loop stands at an angle to the base. A steel ball (19mm diameter, included) let loose at upper end of the loop transverses the track at a fast speed without falling, while climbing the upper track of the loop upside down.
