Borax Lab Report

497 Words2 Pages

In this lab experiment, I experimented with 2 different amount of borax (1g and 5g) to see if the amount of borax affects the bounce height of the ball. The ball is made up of polyvinyl acetate (school glue), borax and water. In the experiment the independent variable is borax and the dependent variable is the bounce height. I found out that borax has sort of a protective layer that creates the bounciness. Therefore, I hypothesized that the more borax that is used, it would be more bouncy, because there is more of a protective layer to it. My hypothesis was right, because the result that I got was an average bounce height is 39.8 cm for the 1g of borax and 46.6 cm for the 5 g of borax. The result shows the significant different between the 2 different amount of borax added to the ball. Even though some of my trials are a little off, my average bounce height in cm is around the range of the more precise average which is the grade’s average and class’ average. …show more content…

All of the average is around the same range, but the grade average is more precise since there was a total of 190 trials for each. In both of the average it is consists of the same factors such as the units, drop height, and the quantities. Even though the averages are pretty accurate, there are factors can have gone wrong while conducting some the

If the height is two and the other side length is an even number then use this equation: (x/2)-1 = rebounds (EX. 2 by 6, do (6/2)-1= 2 rebounds) If that doesn’t apply, and one side length is half the length of the other, then the number of rebounds is 1.(EX. 4 by 2) If that doesn’t apply, and one side length is 1, then subtract 1 from the other side lengths and that is the number of rebounds.(EX.

In conclusion, air pressure has a direct influence on the distance that the ball will travel when thrown. The hypothesis stated that if pressure is added to the football, then the distance the ball projects will increase when distance is a function of pressure. Based on the data that was collected from the experiment, the hypothesis was supported. When the football had more air inside, it went the farthest distance compared to the other two pressures that data was collected from.

PACE TECHNICAL PAPER ROUGH DRAFT This experiment was conducted in an attempt to have wooden baseball bats brought back to NCAA and high school and children’s leagues, too. The experiment idea was to set up a pendulum where the bat swung down and hit the ball in the same spot every time. Then I measured where the ball hit the ground.

However, they may have different amounts of it when they both bounce because of the way they are made. One’s rubber may be stretched or compressed in a way that gives it more elasticity or bounce so that when it hits the racquet or court it bounces higher. Tennis balls have less elastic energy than golf balls so one may think they have less elastic potential energy than racquetballs on average. Also, with the tennis ball weighing more and still having enough elastic energy to bounce as high as the lighter racquetball it is right to say that the tennis ball has more elastic potential energy. Finally, gravitational energy is the last main type of energy that affects tennis.

So, in the end, one could conclude that using an aluminum bat is better than using a wood bat, simply because of all the recent advancements in science, metal, and engineering. To develop a science experiment of one’s own they would need a baseball field, baseball bats one wood, another aluminum (same length and weight) a bucket of baseballs, a stake to mark where the baseballs land, 7 tape measures (50ft), a pitching machine, a paper pad and pen, an outfielder, a pitcher, and lastly a hitter. The way one would conduct this experiment is by having the pitcher set the pitching machine to a reasonable speed, then have the pitching machine pitch, the hitter hit 15 balls with both bats. After every hit ball have the outfielder put stakes in the ground to mark where the balls landed, then record the distance after with the tape

How does temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball My science fair project is about tennis balls and temperature. I chose this topic because I am interested in how temperature affects how high a tennis ball bounces. When the ball hits the floor it expands and when it comes up then it comes back up it contrasts. My question that is going to be answered is,how does temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball?

In this egg drop project, a container was built to house one egg and was then dropped at various heights. The purpose of this lab was to find how impact time affected the force with which an object, the egg container, hits another surface as the momentum moves to zero. Our hypothesis states that if the impact time is stretched longer then the force exerted on the egg would decrease, making the egg less likely to break. The independent variables for the egg drop project was the height at each drop; the dependent variables were impact time and survival of the egg. The controls were mass, design of the container, and the egg.

In that they are better than aluminium alloys and wood because they are more durable, they have a much better weight distributions, there is an improved trampoline effect and to control hand sting they have a higher damping rate. As the bats give an advantage to improve the trampoline effect over a period of time, it made the NCAA to scrutinize the bat as they were giving an unfair advantage to the players. When they were tested they showed that the performance standards were above the accepted ball exit speed ration and this was after they already broken in. This made to a new measure to be introduced, which was batted-ball coefficient

Bouncing may be a significant segment in the material science behind basketball. As a basketball player hops circulating everywhere to settle on An shot he could show up with make suspended to mid-air Throughout the high pitch of the bounce. This may be an outcome about projectile movement. When a article is tossed buzzing around it will Invest an extensive rate of time in the Main and only the Toss. A b-ball player could hop to the extent that 4 feet buzzing around (vertically).

Its material and light-weight allows air resistance and its spin to have significant effects on its motion when airborne. Air resistance is the result of the projectile’s leading surface colliding with air molecules, and it is affected by the velocity of the object and its cross-sectional area. Specifically, a higher velocity and greater cross-sectional area results in greater air resistance. Additionally, ping pong balls allow bounce quite high when they strike a surface. 3.1.2 Physics of projectile motion Since the launcher will launch the ping pong ball so that it launches with a parabolic trajectory, the physics behind projectile motion comes into play.
