Abstract :The purpose of the experiment is to explore elastic and inelastic collisions in order to study the conservation of momentum and energy. The guided track‚ carts‚ photogates ‚ 250 g weight and picket fences were the primary components used in the procedural part of the experiment. Each experiment involved the use of the photogates and picket fences to measure the initial and final velocities of both carts when they collide. The data was collected and translated to a graphical model for further

Height of the bounce of a ping pong ball Introduction This experiment‚is an investigation into the maximum height of the bounce of a ping pong ball when it is first released.This is because of the unpredictability of the bounce not always reaching the same height.This we can assume their are many factors effecting the bounce of the ping pong ball.The following experiment will determine how different surfaces on which a ping pong ball is released affects the height of the first bounce. Research

factor that affects the height of a bouncing ball. The factor that will be investigated in this experiment would be the initial height of the ball. The relationship will be determined by altering the initial height of the ball prior to the release in order for the ball to bounce. The ball used in this experiment would be a tennis ball‚ and it will be dropped on the same surface each experiment. However‚ the initial height prior to the release of the ball will be altered in order to determine the true

Kinetic Friction Experiment #13 Joe Solution E01234567 Partner- Jane Answers PHY 221 Lab Instructor- Nathaniel Franklin Wednesday‚ 11 AM-1 PM Lecture Instructor – Dr. Jacobs Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to examine kinetic friction and what factors affect it. We pulled a wood block across a surface to determine whether the surface area of the block or the type of surface affects friction. The surface area did not appear to affect friction‚ since there was a small percent difference

and Bounce Lab (2013) Name 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. Procedure: 1. Open the Drop and Bounce Virtual Lab and

Recently I decided to observe how the inflation of a soccer ball influences the accuracy of a soccer ball. In this experiment‚ I used one Nike soccer ball‚ one pair of Adidas soccer cleats‚ a soccer field‚ an air pump and a pressure gauge. I used a soccer ball with the PSI of 8.7‚ a soccer ball with 9.5 PSI‚ and a soccer ball with 7.75 PSI. Changing the PSI of the soccer ball changes the results because the PSI changes the hardness of a ball. I can see how the PSI affects my accuracy by recording the
