Why and What I hope to achieve: I believe that the purpose of doing this is to allow me to demonstrate my understanding of Elastic potential energy. And the projectile concepts of the effect of changing potential into kinetic energy and for me to demonstrate my ability to apply elastic potential energy to a scientific investigation. What am I going to do and what will it prove: I am going to use an elastic band and release it from different tensions I will then measure how far it ‘flies’. Doing this will tell me the relationship between force, potential energy and kinetic energy.
My Prediction: I predict that the further I pull the band back the further it will ‘fly’. This is based on the fact that the more tension involved means that the potential energy is greater therefore the kinetic / moving energy will also be greater. Variables: Force to pull the band back. This will be between 3 and 11 Newton’s.
Equations: Distance = SpeedTimeSpeed = Time Distance Time = Distance Speed also have Equations for EPE in my research. Method: 1) Attach an elastic band to the hook on the end of a Newton metre and stretch the band until the Newton metre reads three Newton’s 2) Then Release the band and see how far it flies. 3) Measure using a metre stick how far the band has travelled. 4) Repeat this same test three time in order to gather and average later on. 5) The repeat this test using forces of 5, 7, 9 and 11 Newton’s. 6) Remember to repeat each test on each force three times.
The Term Paper on Renewable Energy 5
This project paper studies the potential of hydroelectric energy as a way to effectively generate, use and store renewable energy through the clean gravitational potential energy of stored water. Nuclear and coal fired plants could do change power output to achieve demand but at extremely high maintenance cost. Nuclear plants also being a good source of continuous energy has a high chance of ...
7) Then collect the mean average using the results you received from repeating each of the tests. Fair Test: I will make sure this is a fair test by: . Using the same band each time. Using the same height at which to release the band. Repeat each test three times so that we gat a reasonable result and in the case of getting a ‘freak’ result I will repeat that test… Same place – Draught’s, heat.
Same angle when band is released Things to take into account: . The band will ‘age’ therefore losing some of its elasticity and tension… If it didn’t hit the ground it would probably go further… Use the same Newton metre and have the same person reading it… There might be a breeze of wind of some sort either flowing with the band or against it… Temperature of room.
Any possible obstructions or anything else that make effect the general momentum e. g. Doors opening windows being open or shut… Angle, position and height you release the band from.
Safety: There isn’t much of a danger in doing this experiment except that there will be a lot of people all doing the same thing and with so many bands flying about it could cause a hazard. Equipment. 1 elastic band. 1 Newton Metre.

The graph proves that there is a positive correlation and it followed a line of best fit which leads me to believe that any other results would follow this trend. Evaluation I have not learnt as much as I expected and was disappointed that I couldn’t find that much in my research to support my prediction but I am convinced that if I had more time focus on my research I would have come up with a more precise and detailed prediction. – Relying more on what had found out rather than my general knowledge. If I repeated the test I would experiment with more bands to see if the correlation in the graph proved continuous in each band.
Depletion Of The Ozone Time Research Paper
What Is the Ozone Hype Anyway "The ozone is a pale bluish form of oxygen gas with an odor like chlorine, formed by an electrical discharge in the air" (Webster 185). The first time that I thought about this research narrative was the first time that I read the syllabus for class. My immediate reaction was that I could not believe that we were actually going to write a ten-page narrative. I was ...
I would also make use of more variables – Speed, Band type, Place e, g Outside, Inside Temperature, height, speed over certain distances. I would also be willing to toy with the idea of experimenting with the band released from a vertical height and Timed and measured over a fixed distance, Including the fact that It would start and finish at the same time and gravity and angle would not be much of an issue. I am please that my experiment was a success and that my prediction was also accurate but I can’t help but feel that there could be a better way to do this experiment and get results because I feel that although I did my best I did not get the result as accurate as I would have liked. Note (In this experiment write up I would like to include a detailed bibliography However this is not possible because Since I did most of my research on the internet by ‘Asking Jeeves’ I can only give on site address. web gathered pieces of relevant information and put most together to be known as my research – I would also like you to note that I picked up information reading through each internet article that I did not include in my printed and presented research..
