This web page provides an introduction to mechanical energy, focusing on gravity. It includes a java simulation of a dropped ball showing the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. Non-elastic collisions with the ground are included, although there is no discussion of the resultant lost energy. Users can change the mass, initial energy, and percentage of the energy lost during collisions.
This item is part of a larger collection of virtual laboratories for physics, astronomy, and environmental science.

Ejs Free Fall Cartesian Model
To extend learning, this Open Source Physics (OSP) model provides a platform for students to use the Easy Java Simulation tool to model their own version of a bouncing ball. Gravity can be set at any value from zero to 20, but the physics needs to be right in order for the model to work properly. relation by Caroline Hall
