How does the release distance affect the bounce distance of a golf ball from bounce 1 to bounce 2?
2 PVC Piping, 16D, carbon paper, chair, goggles, golf ball, lab report, meter tape, marker, masking tap, scott towels.
11. Draw design 22. Tape piping to chair using duct tape 33. Measure distance between the ground and piping 44. Put paper towel down 55. Put 2 sheets of carbon paper down 66. put ball down 77. release nail 88. Mark drops 99.put data down and repeat steps
1st. Traveled 35.5 cm. 2nd. Traveled 50 cm. 3rd. Traveled 68 cm. 4th. Traveled 89 cm. 5th. Traveled 110 cm.
The average of 10 cm is 38 then 57, 92, and 108. As it went on it increased the distance between the bounces. The higher it went, the longer the bounce was. Sometimes it didn’t land on the carbon paper, so we ha to move it. My hypothesis was correct because it went from 35 cm. to 110 cm.
