Ball Bearings Cm

SC 1: Investigating Terminal Velocity When an
object falls through a fluid it accelerates until
it reaches its terminal velocity. At this speed
the forces acting on it are balanced. My task is
to investigate the factors that affect the
terminal velocity of a falling object. I am going
to investigate how mass affects the terminal
velocity. I think that as the mass of the ball
bearing increases so does the weight of the ball
bearing, which requires more friction to balance
the ball bearing's weigh...

skills as basketball. Basketball is the most
electrifying and most innovative game known to

ball through a circular band, called a rim. On

fast break at the other end of the court. On
offense, one quick move can result in an easy

in play and is often referred to as the most
important stroke in the game of tennis. It has
become a principle weapon of attack and is used to

receiver out of position. A good strong serve can
sometimes be the basis of winning a game of
tennis. I have included eight picture sequences to
illustrate the tennis serve. Represented in

Air Resistance Straight Line

Planning The experiment is to determine the
horizontal motion of a projectile when launched
from a ski slope´ at different speeds. It is
thought that the rate at which the ball bearing is
released from the slope will affect how far it
travels in a horizontal direction. The height up
the slope that the ball is released will be
proportional to the distance that it travels.
Therefore, if the height from which it is released
is doubled it will travel twice as far. When the
experiment is conduc...
