Investigating the Speed at Which a Ball Bounces Off a Surface Plan Introduction I intend on investigating the speed at which a ball rebounds of a given surface. I will try and find a relationship between the speed it hits the surface and the speed it comes off the surface. Background Information ====================== The principle of conservation of energy states "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another."1 This is the reason that the
Investigating the Effect of Mass and Speed of a Moving Object on Its Stopping Time The investigation is about the mass and speed of a moving object and how this affects its stopping distance due to the changes in energy needed to brake. Since I cannot measure the speed and energy accurately I shall change the definition of my investigation. The problem/task I will be investigating is how the mass of a moving object – a trolley, affects its stopping distance. [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Stopping
Investigating the Factors Affecting the Speed of a Car After Freewheeling Down a Slope Background Knowledge Sir Isaac Newton formulated three Laws relating to the motion of objects. A moving object covers a particular distance in a particular time. This is called the Speed of the object and is expressed as meters/second i.e. the distance covered in meters in one second. It is a Scalar quantity as it only has magnitude. If however the same speed is expressed with the object moving in
Investigating How the Concentration of Hydrochloric Acid Affects the Speed of the Reaction with Marble Chips Introduction ============ There are many factors that will affect the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate. Some of them are as follows: * Temperature - If the temperature is higher, then the molecules in the solution have more energy, causing them to move around more which would mean they would react faster. * The surface area of the calcium
Investigating the Speed of Water Waves Introduction In this experiment I will be investigating the wave speed, of waves on water in a tray, and how this speed is affected. Waves can be longitudinal, when the particles move in the same direction as the direction of the wave, or it can be transverse, when the particles move at 90o to the direction of the wave. Water waves are transverse waves even though transverse waves cannot travel through liquid. This is because the waves travel
Factors that Affect the Speeds of Rollercoasters AIM === The aim of this investigation is to find out how one chosen factor affects the speed of a roller coaster car at the bottom of a slope. In the investigation, a marble is used to represent a car. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FACTORS ------- VERTICAL HEIGHT OF SLOPE (THE HIGHER, THE FASTER) ------------------------------------------------- GRADIENT OF THE SLOPE (THE STEEPER
state of steady flow. 3. If using this particular system and no flow velocities are being calculated by the system, move the laser slightly in any direction to obtain values. 4. Flow velocity versus the pump speed yields a linear graph with a R2 value of 0.99824 ± 0.00001. 5. If the pump speed is double, the flow velocity will also be doubled. Thus, ease of future experimentation. 6. The water tunnel is calibrated well and can be used as an accurate test bed.
recent years. That includes trying to increase the speed of the cars at whatever means possible. The IRL was formed a few years ago under the direction of Tony George. He is trying to make the sport less expensive and safer by using different motors/chassis and slowing down speeds. Racing has always been about going faster than the next driver. It was about trying to beat course records and lap speeds. But if Tony George has his way, all course speeds will be reduced due to switching from turbo Indy
The idea of this super car was to be simple yet complexed, small yet lite, very lite, astronomically light. The car was there first of its kind using space age technology, the whole body of the car was composed of carbon fiber, the wheels Magnesium alloy, and the underpinnings titanium. Tis is only but a scratch,Wilson stated each McLaren was made up of 5000 the lightest of the materials on the planet including the three I listed. Nowadays we take this space age technology for granted, for it is
The result is an electromagnetic force that sets the projectile in motion at speeds of up to 5,600mph. The amount of power applied along with the size of the projectile help determine how far and fast the projectile will travel. The current aim for the Navy is an EM Railgun that operates at up to 32 mega-joules and has a range of 110 nautical miles. How fast is 5,600mph? For starters it’s over seven times the speed of sound and according to CBS News(David Mar...
might apply in the Pokémon world: Team Rocket is sent blasting off again! They are struck by Pikachu's lightning bolt and are initially thrown at a 60 degree angle with an unknown speed. We do however know that they “land” in a body of water 114.5 meters away (assumed to be leveled) 6.363 seconds later. What is the speed that Team Rocket are thrown and what was their maximum height? Assume no air resistance or terminal velocity. Also assume anime physics (meaning everyone travels in a group and everyone
Drivers who speed often do not realize the enormous danger they are creating. When someone is speeding they have a higher braking time and are often going too fast to notice all of their surroundings, and fail to take all of the safety precautions a driver should use. Road conditions play a large role in the effects of speeding. Choosing to speed can also get a person’s license taken away, cost a fortune, or both. Firstly, Virtually all current production vehicles' published road braking performance
serious look on his face. I just left him to it and got on. We arrived at our hotel which seemed like a nice little cosy place. The beach was right in front of us - white sand, crystal clear water, the perfect, paradise beach. Out of the blue, a speed boat come flying round the cliffs, which surrounded the beach, with a speeding banana boat attached, and about six screaming maniacs holding on to try and stay as dry as possible. So much for the quiet and perfect beach. Anyway, I got my belongings
will investigate the properties of mechanical waves such as a longitudinal wave, focusing on the question: Does a change in the frequency of a wave result in a significant and convincing change in the speed of the wave? Hypothesis: Changing the frequency of the wave will not result in a change in speed because the wavelength will change proportionally as in theory. Student Designed Investigation Procedure/ Planning Procedure: 1. Three students would get into a group. 2. A Slinky would be
My Little Pony: Friendship is a cartoon produced by Lauren Faust, and is the newest generation of the franchise of the original My Little Pony (aka My Pretty Pony) toys which were released in 1983. What makes this show so different from the other generations of My Little Pony is that the show is intended for children, and adults. The show discusses topics such as racism, politics, feminism and imperialism. The show is simple enough for children to understand, but is very detailed and so interesting
is a negative aspect to the world. In this fast-packed society, there is not enough time to do the things that we could have been able to do 20 or 30 years ago. The worldwide broadband connection speed is constantly growing with the current average speed at 2Mbps (Akamai). With this high influx of speed, we would expect to see more time in the lives of people. Instead, we see people wasting time and finding ways to have more time. Google, for example, has become our silicon brain. Carr agrees, stating
the safe speed limit in a neighborhood or school zone, which in turn puts children at risk. Increased speed decreases the time children have to get out of the way of an impending car. Also, according to Wray Herbert, a psychologist who has researched why children are prone to getting hit by cars, “Faster moving cars appear to loom less than slow moving cars, creating a dangerous illusion that speedy cars are not approaching…. Children could not reliably detect a car approaching at speeds higher than
thought that the fastest animal was a cheetah? Or what about the infamous Sailfish? Well what if I told you that the fastest animal isn’t a marine animal nor a terrestrial animal but, an aerial animal. That animal is the Peregrine falcon, it can dive at speeds up to 200 miles per hour (Falcons). Which is far more superior to that of the Cheetah and the Sailfish combined. Learn this and more amazing facts about the fastest animal on earth, the Peregrine Falcon right here. Peregrine Falcons are the most

The experiment is to see how a certain variable will affect the amount of Gas produced from a Calcium Carbonate and Hydrochloric Acid Reaction. The Science Calcium Carbonate is a generally white or colourless mineral that is translucent. When compressed or exposed to great heat the mineral binds together
The Relationship between the Angle of Elevation of a Ramp and the Speed of a Ball Introduction In this piece of coursework I'm going to investigate and measure the speed of the ball rolling down a ramp. From the data that I'm going to collect I'm going to be able to work out the Gravitational potential energy when changing the height, the friction force acting on the ball whilst it rolling down, and finally the kinetic energy exerted by the ball.
