The study took place between the years of 1980 and 2003 within the same
Gravitational Pull and Parachute Investigation Aim The aim of the experiment is to investigate how each of several different weights of varying mass attached to a parachute in turn can influence the gravitational pull and air resistance forces acting on it, consequently affecting the time it takes to reach the ground when dropped from a specific height. Preliminary Work Forces are measured in Newtons (N), named after Isaac Newton who invented this unit. We cannot see them but instead

this experiment throws a ball's with diffrent weight directly downwards to a box full of sand. As the weight of the ball increases, the size of the impact crater changes, assuming the ball is always dropped from the same height as measured from the top of the sand box to the bottom of the ball. The reason behind this experiment is to determine the relationship between the mass of the ball to size of the impact it made on the sand. The size of the impact is the dependent variable, the mass of the

was to be 10 grams in weight. The chip will be placed into a glucose solution of a certain concentration. After leaving the chip for an hour I shall take it out, blot the excess liquid and measure the mass. I shall record the differences in masses and then calculate the percentage weight changes of the recorded masses when a potato chip has been in different concentrates. To ensure that my results are as fair and accurate as possible shall use a number of controls. These will hopefully eliminate
The Effects of the Extension of a Spring on the Time it Takes a Weight to Oscillate Introduction I am investigating the relationship between the extension of the spring and the effect it has on the time it takes for the wait on the spring to oscillate. Scientific Knowledge [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] Spring at rest Spring extended As the spring is extended the spring stores potential kinetic energy. So the larger X is, the more energy is stored. To work out the energy
in the transfer of patients. These range from straps that are attached to or placed under the patients, to mechanical hoists and lifters. Any assistance the nurse has is beneficial for both the patient and the health care worker, as patient's weights are generally heavier than the nurses physical capabilities. This, combined with incorrect lifting techniques, can result in muscle strain, or more seriously, spinal injury for the nurse, and discomfort, muscle strain or further injury for the
