Physics Lab Energy Skate Park Introduction In this lab, you learned about conserving energy with a skater. Different tracks were explored and kinetic energy, potential energy, and friction were observed as it moved. The tracks, ramps and jumps were built for the skater. Procedure 1. The Skate Park Phet simulation program opens 2. The different stages are created for the skater 3. Finally, the program is played until all the desired values are obtained.
