Class 11 Physics simulations · Work, Energy and Power

Conservation of energy

Watch gravitational potential energy turn into kinetic energy on a frictionless track.

Open the simulation

What to notice

As the ball goes lower, potential energy falls and kinetic energy rises.

Key relation

E = mgh + ½mv²

Try this

Double the starting height. How does the maximum speed change?

What you can change

• Starting height: 3 to 8 m
• Ball mass: 1 to 10 kg
