Conversion of mechanical into internal energy with Cobra SMARTsense

Principle

Different forms of energy can be converted into each other. Here, the positional energy of shot pellets is converted into heat when the falling shot pellets collide with each other.

Benefits

Particularly understandable and didactically prepared description of the experiment (relevance to everyday life etc.) including protocol questions
Future-oriented teaching: Integration into digital science lessons with tablets
Increased motivation of students by using the intuitive measureAPP
Increase of media competence

Tasks

The students drop shotgun pellets several times along a route and measure how much they heat up as a result.

Learning objectives

The students learn that the kinetic energy of the shot balls is converted into thermal energy.
