It's suspended from three fixed heights. As I said in the reply before, the height doesn't matter here, the slinky's initial length when released and the length of the subsequent rebound do. The height's only changed because sometimes the slinky gets too long and it crashes into the sensor...
1. I'm taking a slinky and releasing it from three different heights above the LabQuest sensor.
2. (The height doesn't matter here, the slinky's initial length when released and the length of the subsequent rebound do.)
3. (The height's only changed because sometimes the slinky gets too long and...
The attached picture sums up my experiment. I used a slinky (a kind of a bouncing spring) to see the relationship between its maximum length when released and the length of its first rebound. However, I released the slinky using various different magnitudes of force. I used a sensor (a LabQuest...
Thanks Dragonfiremalus. I'm not sure I'll return to this idea because I've been brainstorming new ones for my project, but in case I do do you think there could be a physical model for the point charges or would I have to do it online? And would I rather restate my research question in the...
Well I'm in grade 11 and for an investigation I decided I'd observe the behavior of protons once the neutrons and electrons are removed from the atom. Specifically I want to observe how the acceleration at which the protons move apart from each other varies with the mass of the atom (i.e. #...
