Collisions+Newtons+Laws

=**COLLISIONS**=

=What is this about?=

This is the 2nd experiment which our group has done on Newtons Laws this year. What we are trying to do it to roll two ball with different mass down two ramps. (One ramp for each ball) We are planning to roll the two balls down the ramp at the same time so that when they hit each other we will find out __**"AIM."**__ If we are successful, the two balls meet the should go off in opposite directions. (possibly one could go further than the other. We will soon find out.)

AIM:

__**To prove the 3rd Law. Every action has an equal and/or opposite reaction. If one force acts on another it causes it to move.**__

=Thesis=

If a ball with a heavier mass hits a ball with a lighter mass. They will both go in opposite directions but the lighter ball will carry on to go for a longer distance than the heavier ball.

= = =Building=





We began building our designs a while back, so I though since our building is coming to an end, I should explain what has happened. We came up with a great plan for out collisions topic. It was going to look great, but the only problem was that we kept on coming to small hurdels. The plan was quite advance and so we decided to join up with the other group (our group part 2) and make on big difference in there's combining theirs and ours. Our original plan would have worked better if we had all the right pieces. (Which we didn't) If you look at our plan below (the original one) you can see that there was a lot for us to do. Lot's of measuring,cutting, testing. Look Below to see our old plan.

Our new plan and finished result looks like this, as you can see it is very different from the other idea. It has been changed to measure the force if i a similar way, and yet it is not the same. We will never know which way would be better to use, but we will hopefully find out soon. (That is only if we do try out our old idea) We have had lot's of fun building and using the equipment. It was a fun lesson to do and I would recommend trying one of our ideas. (Or even better try your own) Have great fun experimenting and finding out new ways of doing this experiment. If there is any extra ideas you would have added on. Tell me, or even try it out yourself!
