      using a solid ball, you can verifiy the energy transfer between potential and kinetic energy. Using phyphox application, you can measure the initial dropping height of the ball by using:

      • Sound Stopwatch: sequential measurements
      • Directly, choose (in)elastic collision experiment from the list
