Jefferson Lab's Workbench Projects

Background

Developed for use with Jefferson Lab's Go Far Cars experiment, this simple ramp can easily be set to four different height settings. The ramp settings are uniformly spaced, so the amount of gravitational potential energy given to an object at the top of the ramp increases by a constant amount as the ramp is placed at higher settings.
