Lab Report: Creators

Lab Report: Creators

This Lab is to discover whether the weight of an object affects the creator the object creates. In order to do this in a reliable fashion we will repeat each test 3 times over.

Variables:

Independant-The only thing we will change is the weight of the ball

Dependant- The only thing that we will measure is the diameter of the creator

Controlled- We will keep the size of the ball, height from which the ball is dropped from, speed and the substance in which the ball hits all the same for each test.

Hypothesis:

I think the heavier objects will have larger creators. I think this because even though the objects will all fall at the same speed, however I feel the heavier objects will have more momentum and force upon impact. And I feel that this will create notably larger creators but not hugely larger creators.

Equipment:

In this test we used a variety of balls, sugar, a meter stick and plate to hold the sugar for the testing.

Methode:

We first took four balls that had approximately the same circumference but different weights.

Once we found the necessary test subjects we are able to restart

Found what substance we would use for the soil (sugar)

chose from what height to drop the balls (1 meter)

Began dropping each ball, one by one and recording the diameter of the creator

Repeated step 5. two more times to have 3 tries for all four balls

Found out the average diameter of the creator for all four balls
