Rollback Can
\"The total energy of an isolated system remains constant\"
Jesus Mary Joseph Sr. Sec. School conducted an activity “Rollback Can“ on 31st August 2022 for students of Classes XIA &XIIA.
Through this activity, students were introduced to the principle of Law of conservation of energy found in many aspects of the day to day life and used in all the areas of sciences. Students built their own Rollback Can with simple materials.
The Rollback Can is an example of energy being stored in one form and then transformed into another form. Much of the kinetic energy (moving energy) provided by pushing the Rollback Can is stored as potential energy in the stretched rubber band as the rubber band twists, the energy becomes potential. As soon as the can stops, the potential energy stored in the rubber band is released and can roll back in the direction from which it came. Students participated enthusiastically in this enriching and highly informative activity, conducted under the guidance of Ms. Sharmila Nair.
