SPRING POTENTIAL ENERGY Name/Group :............................... Class:........Date:...................2014 A. Learning Objective Given experiment about Spring Potential Energy, student can understand concept of spring energy. B. Problem In daily life we always connected with energy, in physics energy used to do work, both kinetik energy, potential also mixture them are called mechanic energy. One of form of energy is potential energy in spring, where energy influenced by displacement of spring.
The figure is one of application of spring in daily life, and two types of spring above also obtained at motorcycle, where one of type of spring is used, namely parallel spring or single spring. If spring type (costanta) is identic, so your opinion, which figure more effective is used in daily life? C. Hyphotheses Make a hyphotheses (in group) according to problem above!
1.Application of spring to parallel circuit 2. Application of spring to single circuit D. Experiment Method Objectives 1. Student can determine spring costanta 2. Student can determine potential energy of dispalcement of single spring 3. Student can determine potential energy of two types spring circuit. Apparatus Two springs Burden 5 types (50 gram) Ruler Ohauss Balance Static Work Procedure Activity 1: Determine Costanta and Potential Energy of Spring 1. Prepare experiment apparatus 2. Measure burden mass (5 types) with using Ohauss Balance 3. Hang spring in static and measure initial spring length (x 0 ) 4. Hang 1 burden in spring and measured final spring length (x) 5. Repeat step 4 with adding burden in spring for all burden which measured its mass 6. Repeat step 3-5 with other spring. 7. Note the result of observation in table Activity 2: Determine Potential Energy of Spring to Series and Parallel Circuit 1. Prepare burden which used in activity 2 2. Hang spring with series circuit in static and measure initial spring length (x 0 ) 3. Hang 1 burden in spring and measured final spring length (x) 4. Repeat step 3 with adding burden in spring for all burden which measured its mass 5. Repeat step 3-4 with parallel circuit spring. 6. Note the result of observation in table
Planning Observation 1. Work in group.
