Kinetic Energy of a Curling Stone
In this problem you must determine the kinetic energy of a curling stone. You will push the stone along the ice and then you will time it as it moves between two markings on the ice. Based on the time it takes the stone to move a certain distance and the mass of the stone you are to determine the KE of the stone. You can assume there is no energy loss due to friction during the time the stone is moving between the markings on the ice
