Bringing Mechanical Energy to Life

With a bowling ball, steel wire, and a stopwatch, students braved the near miss of a bowling ball to bring mechanical energy to life. To complete their experiment, students took to the halls to measure the fractional energy losses that a bowling ball experiences as the ball acquires velocity, and swings back, with energy losses due to friction in the air. Armed with the knowledge that a pendulum will not swing higher than the height from which it is released, because, without external force, it cannot gain energy, students sat in the path of a ten pound bowling ball.
