Problem : How does the release distance affect the bounce distance of a golf ball from bounce 1 and bounce 2.?

I predict that the release point of the golf ball will make the bounce further from bounce 1 and bounce 2.

Golf Ball, PVP piping, Angle of ramp.

 Release Point On Pipe

 The distance between from bounce 1 and bounce 2.

 1. Draw a Diagram.  2. Write procedure.  3. Gather materials.  4. Construct model ramp on chair.  5. Measure distance of PVP.  6. Place nail at first point.  7. Drop ball then release nail.

 Carbon Paper  Goggles  Golf Ball  Graph Paper  Lab Report  Mask Tape  Meter Tape  Scott Towel, 16D Nail, 2 PVP pipes

Drop 1: We dropped it at 10cm and it dropped 44cm apart from each other Drop 2: We noticed that the second drop was elevation Drop 3: I noticed the ball goes farther and faster from different release distance Drop 4: The ball bounces exceeded the radius of the paper towel Drop 5: The ball dropped farther than I expected. … to be continued …………………………………………………………

 Drop 6: The ball didn’t change a lot

 From the experiment I have concluded That the higher something is the more momentum it will have. This affects the bounce 1 from bonce 2 because the higher the release distance the more release distance bounce1 will get.

One possible explanation is the release distance that the ball took off at affects the bounce distance.
