T HE B UNGY E XPERIENCE Barbie and Friends go for a Bungy Jump – the analysis of the event
Real Life Imitated by Models
The Equipment From the front desk Collect 10 rubber bands A tape measure Loop 3 bands together, then attach them to Barbie’s ankles
Measuring the Fall Distance For 3 bands attached, measure the distance of the maximum fall Repeat the measurement 3 times Now do it again for 4, 5, 6, 7 rubber bands Record your results
Measuring the Fall Distance
Only 40 minutes to measure The time will disappear quickly
The Analysis You will need to Complete your average column Plot a graph for average distance & number of rubber bands Show the calculations for the linear model Calculate the averages (x,y) value for the Upper and Lower Section Calculate the gradient Calculate the y-axis intercept Write the equation of the line of best fit (2 mean method) Draw the line of best fit on the graph

From the LINEAR MODEL you shall predict the number of bands
THE JUMP – from where?
