"The Flying Sphere" illustrates the principles of conservation of energy by demonstrating the transformation from elastic potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy. This experiment showcases the different stages of energy transfer, including the initial spring energy that sets the sphere in motion, the kinetic energy during its flight, and the potential energy at its peak. This hands-on demonstration effectively reinforces the concept that energy is conserved and merely changes form without being created or destroyed, allowing participants to visualize these crucial energy transformations.

“The Flying Sphere” • Uses principles of Conservation of Energy • Transfers energy from initial elastic potential energy to kinetic energy, and finally to pure potential energy • Purpose is to physically see the different stages of energies transforming throughout the demonstration
Stages • Spring energy -> Kinetic energy -> potential and kinetic energy -> potential energy • Our spring energy is the starting point, and puts the ball in motion giving it kinetic energy • That kinetic energy is carried to the last stage • At last, the ball is shot upwards converting kinetic energy into potential energy.
Conclusions • Energy is conserved. • Energy is not created or destroyed throughout the demonstration-just transferred from state to state.
