Flip Up Lab Report Experiment 1 Spacers System

Flip Up Lab Report Experiment # 1 - Spacers

System A set of objects that are related in some way and can be isolated for study

Trajectory A curved path that a projectile takes

Question • What is the relationship between the • number of spacers • and the average height • the aluminum ball flips?

Hypothesis • If the number of spacers increases, • then • the average height the aluminum ball flips will • increase, decrease, stay the same

Constant (Controlled) Variables • • • Stick length – 0 cm Angle – 0 ° Mass of Aluminum Ball – 1 g Flipstick # 1 Aluminum ball between the two psp’s Flipstick pushed all the way in and down • Same person – same launch technique

Control Test • How many spacers are there in the control test? • O spacers

# 1. Answer the Question • If the number of spacers increases, then the average height the aluminum ball flips will decrease.

# 2. Specific Quantitative Data • For example, • when you have zero spacers • the average height the aluminum ball flips is cm • compared to six spacers and an average height of cm.

# 3. Refer to Your Hypothesis • My hypothesis was if the number of spacers increases, then the average height the aluminum ball flips will decrease. • It was right. • As the number of spacers increases, the average height decreases.

Or • My hypothesis was if the number of spacers increases, then the average height the aluminum ball flips will increase. • It was wrong. • As the number of spacers increases, the average height decreases.
