    This experiment was to use kinetics of projectile motion and free falling bodies to determine the distance a ball will travel after it hits a bounce plate. To determine this we had to use the equations x=(1/2)at2 and v=v0+at and derive an equation that will determine the distance the ball will travel based on the height of the bounce plate and the height of where the ball will be dropped above the bounce plate. The equation made was g*(sqrt(2)/sqrt(g))*(sqrt(H)*sqrt(h)). From here we can make an estimate of how far the ball will travel after it hits the bounce plate.…

    Overview: In this lab, we will test balls made of various materials. The matter that composes the ball must store energy on impact and then release the energy in a way that allows elastic recoil, or bounce. In addition to elasticity, there is also a relationship between the height from which the ball is dropped and the height of the bounce. We will measure and graph the relationship of those two variables.…

    For Science Fair, Steven Bowman, my partner, and I decided to test which mass baseball would travel farther when launched from a pitching machine. We decided to use three different types of baseballs. We used an official baseball, a tee-ball (rubber ball), and a plastic, hollow ball (wiffle ball). Before we started the experimentation we researched all the theories that were involved in the experiment. Aerodynamics played a key role in the experiment because based on how the air traveled along the outside of the ball can cause it to many sorts of things while in the air. The seams were a main factor with the baseball because the seams can disrupt airflow…
