Procedural Recount Aim To analyze the effect of paper thickness on the distance covered by a paper plane. Hypothesis The thinner the paper the further the paper plane would glide so it would cover a larger distance. This is because of the smaller gravity force acting on the paper plane made out of the thinner paper‚ since the mass of this plane is smaller. Apparatus Tape measurer Blue tack 6 sheets of different types of paper (office paper‚ paper towel‚ cardboard of different thickness

Also‚ as the instructor

ULTRA-SONIC DISTANCE METER. Introduction to Ultrasonic Distance Meter The project Ultrasonic Distance Meter is a very interesting and useful project for many industrial applications. In this project we have used the ultrasonic waves to measure the distance in between two points. The basic principal is based on the speed of ultrasonic waves in open air. We have used a microcontroller AT89S51 to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves through 40 KHz ultrasonic receiver and transmitters. By measuring
