The Fastest Pipe

Decent Essays
To conclude my hypothesis was completely wrong and the fastest pipe was the small plastic pipe, which I predicted would be the slowest pipe. The average time the plastic pipe took to roll down the ramp was 0.86 seconds. The time was 0.01 seconds faster than the pipe that finished second, which was the steel pipe. The small plastic pipe had the smallest inertia, which was 0.000003 and finished first. Also the small plastic pipe had the smallest rotational and kinetic energy compared to the rest of the pipes. The steel pipe had a inertia of 0.000008 and finished second. Then in third place was the small wood pipe with an inertia of 0.000012 and in fourth place the small copper pipe, also with an inertia of 0.000012. The pipe with the slowest

    The purpose of creating this scientific investigation was to see which type of shoe would kick a soccer ball the furthest. The hypothesis for this project was, “If the type of shoe affects the ball’s distance traveled when kicked, then the cleat will kick the ball the furthest.” The independent variable was the type of shoe. The dependent variable was the distance the ball traveled. The way the responding or dependent variable was measured was the distance the ball has traveled.…

    Lead Pipes Case

    In the Chicago Tribune article, “As Other Cities Dig Up Pipes Made Of Toxic Lead, Chicago Resists,” the author discusses Mayor Rahm Emmanuel’s efforts to modernize Chicago’s aging and deteriorating water system; however, as other cities prefer to tackle the root problem and replace the toxic lead pipes altogether, Rahm prefers to resist this approach and, instead, continue with his original project that will only help to increase lead exposure to Chicagoans. While, at first glance, this dilemma appears to only be a health-related one, upon further analysis, it can certain be argued that this case showcases health as a political issue that involves structures of power, especially in relation to race. According to the article, “Towards a politics…

    Is velocity the reason why a curveball drops? Statistics show that the velocity of a ball does not cause the curveball to drop. There are other variables involved like air pressure, rotation of the ball, and aerodynamics. These are very important factors when a baseball is thrown. A Big part of velocity is the air pressure, this is because of a separate topic called the Magnus Effect - a force exerted on a rapidly spinning cylinder or sphere moving through air in a direction at an angle to the axis of spin.…

    Introduction The Keystone Pipeline was a proposed idea of a pipeline that would run from the oil sands of Canada to Steele City, Nebraska (“Keystone” 1). It would then connect with an existing pipeline that would administer it elsewhere. Since the proposal was for an oil pipeline that would cross international borders, it needed the President’s approval. The idea became such a controversial topic when President Obama stated that six days to decide the fate of this project was not a sufficient amount of time to make a decision.…

    The elite one percent jet off to Nantucket http://www.care2.com/causes/produced-in-your-backyard-rethinking-energy.html to escape the stresses of city life. But the Massachusetts island also happens to be an important habitat for a seabird -- the piping plover. Now that the birds are doing well on the island from 139 breeding pairs (1986) to 689 pairs (2015), the headaches and complaints have also increased. The complaints have gotten so bad that the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is considering relaxing the rules by granting a 25-year permit to the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MADFW). Risky Flexibility Nantucketers may like to think of themselves as a rare breed, but the only threatened http://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/pipingplover/pipingpl.html species on the beach is the piping plover.…

    Softball versus Baseball in Terms of Speed and Distance There has been, and will for a long time be, much controversy about whether or not baseball players are better, and the sport is more difficult, than softball. If you were to go to a baseball game and then go to a softball game, it would appear that the baseballs are hit harder and farther than the softballs were hit. The two specific fields even differ largely in dimensions: The baseball field being larger than the softball field. There are many things that may contribute to this, such as softball is generally played by females while baseball is generally played by males, the gender difference also means a difference in muscle and strength.…
