6th hour 4/1/13 Tennis ball and racket ball comparison Problem: Find the speed of the tennis ball and the racket ball to determine which one travels faster. Hypothesis: I believe that the racket ball will have a faster average speed than the tennis ball for both distances because the racket ball is bouncy. Materials: *Tennis ball *30yards of space *Racket ball *Set of stairs *Stop watch *measuring tape Procedures: 1) Measure out 30 yards of space‚ have of member stand

How road safety has changed over the years Why Speed Limits Have Changed During the last 100 years speed limits have changed in the UK‚ now in residential areas speed limits are generally 20mph to 30mph and on main roads the speed limit is 40mph. On the motorways the speed limit is raised to 70 mph. The first speed limit was 1865; this speed limit was 2mph in built up areas such as cities‚ towns and villages. This was then raised to 20mph and large fines were put in place for speeding and

------------------------------------------------- Speed Speed is defined as a measure of the distance an object travels in a given length of time. The average speed of an object can be determined from the equation below: Thus‚ if a car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds its average speed can be calculated as; Average speed = 100/5 = 20 meters per second Average speed is used to give the speed of an object over a given interval of time‚ if however the speed of an object is required for a particular moment then the instantaneous speed is used

Measuring the Speed of Sound and Air using a Pulse-Echo Technique Purpose To determine the speed of sound in air using the pulse-echo experiment procedure‚ and comparing it to the predicted speed of sound in air using the measured air temperature of the classroom. Hypothesis I believe that the speed of sound it the air will be close to that of the predicted value. According to our predicted value‚ we should expect the speed of sound in the air to be at a speed of approximately 346 m/s. Materials
