Riley Jefferson Block 7/8 October 8th 2012 Electrostatic Gedanken Lab Group Gamma Objective: The objective of this lab is to determine the charge on a pith ball. Hypothesis: I fully believe that the charge of the pith ball will be positive. The formula I will use to prove this is Coulomb’s Law‚ (Fe=(k*q1*q2) / r²). ‘Fe’ is equal to the electrostatic force between the spheres‚ measured in Newton’s. It is also a vector quantity‚ and it’s in absolute value. Secondly‚ ‘k’ is equal to Coulomb’s

Recently I decided to observe how the inflation of a soccer ball influences the accuracy of a soccer ball. In this experiment‚ I used one Nike soccer ball‚ one pair of Adidas soccer cleats‚ a soccer field‚ an air pump and a pressure gauge. I used a soccer ball with the PSI of 8.7‚ a soccer ball with 9.5 PSI‚ and a soccer ball with 7.75 PSI. Changing the PSI of the soccer ball changes the results because the PSI changes the hardness of a ball. I can see how the PSI affects my accuracy by recording the
