Nope, no experiment yet. This is just planning. Thanks! And how could I phrase the scientific knowledge bit about sound/heat and how it makes the % energy lost constant? Thanks so much for not getting annoyed at me Chris! lol
Thats what I was thinking, but I couldn't think of how to word it about the same percentage of energy lost by sound and heat each time. Could you help me with trying to get it into words please? I basically want to say that despite the fact that there is more energy lost due to louder sound/more...
So really its just sound + some heat that causes a loss of energy? And the COR stuff? I'm going to kill my teacher; he's making it all so complicated!
So should I just stick with my prediction:
My prediction is, that as the initial height the ball is dropped from increases, the percentage PE...
Thanks! But not that complicated, lol. My teacher probably wouldn't even understand that :P
Is there anything else you know of that would make % energy lost increase? And is my prediction even correct, lol?
1. I am investigating how the initial height a ball is dropped from affects the rebound height. We have been asked to make a prediction about what we think will happen; however, we have not been given any guidance as to what we should write.
