Our+Egg-Drop+Newtons+Laws

=EGG-DROP=

=What happend durring school hours? Planning?= toc The egg-drop experiment is based on the first of newtons laws. We were told to do this experiment durring school hours of science. Even though the experiment we did, did not include all of the things we needed the experiment still shows the idea. We took a long time planing and explaining how everything worked to eachother because we all had a different idea/opinion on the topic. Our group often had problems finding a subbitute for one of our objects, when really it was quite easy. We all dicided in the end to do an enlarged size of what we were ment to do with similar objects and changes.

=What was our Aim?= __**//Our aim is to find out how much force was needed to move the mass of the object, while moving the carboard, to find out how far the object would go depending on the weight.//**__ =

What was the orriganal Experiment?=

1.Bowl 2.Carboard tube 3.Egg 4.Water 5.Carboard

=What is the changed Experiment?= 1. Tub/box (plastic) 2. Weights (of a different range) 3. Basketball 4. A thin peice of Wood 5. Long sheet of Carboard/ramp 6. Chair

=The Experiment=

1. We set up the experiment

2. So we put 100g weight on the board and rolled the basketball down the ramp. It hit the wood cut out and the weight moved 2.5cm to the rightIt moved from the middle of the board which we had marked out) and then it fell in the plasic box.

3. Thirdly we put a 200g weight on the middle of the board and it only moved 5cm to the right and fell in the plastic box.

4. Next we put a 500g weight in the middle of the wood and then we rolled the basketball down the ramp it hit and the weight moved 27cm to the left. And it didn't land in the box. (I think this is weird that it moved to the left because it does the same below so personally thing that the angle of the basketball had been moved.)

5. Lastly, we used a 1kg weight and rolled the basketball down the ramp it hit the wood and the weight moved 17cm to the left and it yet again didn't fall in the box. (See it is still on the left.)
