Selling The Tires In A Rover: Fragile Controlled Balls

Improved Essays
Overall, the purpose of this lab is to find the ideal substance in which to fill the tires in a rover that will go into space ( Mars ). We tested the speed and total distance traveled for the control ball and the foam filled ball. For speed I thought the foam filled ball would go farther because it weighs more than the control ball, and for distance if the ball goes on the ramp, it will lose speed , and if it hits the speed bump then it will lose speed in total for both, reducing the total distance traveled. My hypothesis for experiment one was denied because the control ball went farther than the foam ball. My hypothesis for experiment 2 was accepted because if the hits the ramp/ hits the speed bump that it would lose speed. We did this lab

    A possible error that could have been made was not doing at least three experiments. If more experiments were done, the information would have been more accurate. Another possible error was only using two liquids. If more than two liquids were used in this experiment, then the information would have also been more accurate. A major error in this experiment was using a different starting temperature for each trial.…

    The question is, “Which paper towel brand is the most absorbent?” The hypothesis is, “If a dropper drops water equally on a paper towel of each brand until it started to drip, then Bounty brand would contain the most water, in grams. The independent variable is the brands of paper towels. The dependent variable is the grams of water that was contained in the paper towel. The control variable was that every paper towel sheet was cut to be 15.2 centimeters by 28.1 centimeters.…

    Each of the participants in the Bubble Gum “A real sugar high” lab were to instructed to bring several types of gum. On the day of the lab, step one required all participants were to measure the gum’s mass along with it’s wrapper (Bubble Gum “A Real Sugar High”, n.a.). The second step instructed each participator to chew the without swallowing and have no product to the mass. Step two also suggested that different members participating in the lab should chew the gum for different amounts of time or measure the gum’s mass several different times and make sure that the gum is placed onto the gum wrapper (Bubble Gum “A Real Sugar High”, n.a.). Step three in the lab stated that while chewing the gum, the wrapper must be massed and also come up…

    Bouncy Ball Height

    In our lab I was investigating: Does the height you drop the ball affect how it will bounce? When we were doing this lab person #1 held the meter stick, and person #2 held the bouncy ball when person #3 was ready to record the height the ball bounced person #2 dropped the bouncy ball and told the height the ball was dropped and the height the ball went to. Our materials were 3 people, a meter stick, pencil and paper, and a bouncy ball. As we dropped the bouncy ball from a greater height it bounced about half of the height we dropped the bouncy ball from. For example when we dropped the bouncy ball from twenty centimeters the ball only bounced to 16cm.…

    These include, event to event weather conditions impacting the motion of the bottle rocket in the the x and z planes. This therefore potentially resulting in an effect on the motion of the bottle and the height data recorded at an unknown level; as opposed to that in theoretical conditions. Moreover, incorrect initial scaling of length measurement on the data analysis soft-wear, could have resulted in incorrect heights being deemed to have been reached by the bottle rocket. The nature of the freeze frame data analyzation on Pasco also resulted in time recordings that had slight discrepancies of maximum 0.033 seconds with one another, thus meaning that the variable of time was strictly not controlled within the experiment. Small test to test discrepancies in pressure gage reading is another area in which random error may have occurred.…

    The purpose of this lab is to practice different scientific methods, practice making different observations, and observe chemical and physical changes. What we did was measure out 4 grams of the powder and same with the little ball shaped chemicals that were solid. What happened in this experiment was when you put the liquid chemical called the acid indicator in the different types joined and formed a gas type substance. And our uncertainty was low, we had no idea if we were doing the lab right and if we were going to get the right results but we had it in the bag. We had learned new things like how to make a reaction, gas, chemical, and burn something without a flame.…

    The trials were used to show how soap can change the droplets that could be held on the penny. The results of the trial helped me see what happened when I added soap to the water. It tells me whether my hypothesis was correct when I tested it and whether the results can prove my point. After analyzing the data, my hypothesis was correct. I was able to see a trend that the penny was able to hold 40+ droplets of tap water each time, but there were some exceptions, while the penny was able to hold 10+ drops each time.…

    This is because glycerin will prevent the snow from falling rapidly as it is a ‘thick’ fluid. In other words, it has a high viscosity, but water has a low viscosity (low thickness), thus glycerin will thicken the water (changes the water). Therefore, this mixture of liquids inside the beaker decelerates the snow because the gravity is pulling it down. Suggest what the results would be if the hypothesis was supported if the hypothesis was supported, the object will take the longest time to reach the base of the beaker when mixed in the water and glycerin solution.…
