Abstract

In this project, the main purpose is to prove the theory of conservation of energy. By using a spring system and projectile motion, the theory of energy will be proved. The spring device will launch a ball bearing in a horizontal direction at a certain height from ground. The ball will having semi-projectile motion. The projectile motion of a ball bearing will be observed. From the theory, the energy due to a spring will be the same as the energy exerted by a ball bearing that having a motion. The theory of projectile motion will be use in order to find the initial velocity. The distance travel by a ball bearing will be measure to the find initial velocity of the ball, the relation between the velocity and distance travel. The velocity achieved will be used in the equation of kinetic energy. The comparison will be made in the Result & Analysis Section.
