PROBLEM DO YOU THINK THE release dISTANCE WILL AFFECT THE BOUNCE dISTANCE OF a GOLF bALL fROM tHE fIRST bOUNCE tO tHE sECOND?

Hypothesis I PREDICT lager the release distance it drops from the farther it goes from bounce 1 to bounce 2.

Controlled Variable Golf Ball

Manipulated Variable The distance realease point

Dependent Variable The distance from bounce 1 to bounce 2

Materials Carbon paper, goggles,golf ball, graph paper, lab report, masking tape, meter tape, paper towels,16 d nails, Pvc piping

Procedures  1. Draw a sketch 2.Get your supplies 3. Put goggles on 4. Put tube together 5.Take out golf ball 6.Anglethe tube 7.Use carbon paper 8. Mark were ball lands on the paper towels

Observations our observations was the farther we drop the ball the farther it will go.

Conclusions our conclusion the higher you drop the ball the farther it goes I know this because bounce 1 was 38cm,bounce 2 was 51cm,bounce3 was 73cm bounce4 was88cm,

Possible Explanations The angle of the pip could have effected the distance of the golf ball.
