Gravitational Potential Energy Applet
Applet features a painter, a ladder, and two buckets of paint with different masses. Students click on the paint can, click and drag the painter up the ladder and a meter shows the potential energy. Click "go" and the painter drops the can - a meter shows that the energy is now kinetic and it is the same amount as the potential energy.
