I have one more question. Why did the boat start to sink when we added the 8th rubber band? And why did it flip over when we added the 10th?

Oh ok. Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it! :)

'm' stands for mass of the boat?

I used the same strength of rubber bands. The above data is all I have to come out with a theory and calculations. The bathtub distance is 4.5m. What exactly would I be able to calculate with this data? I know that the more rubber bands we added, the faster the boat traveled. I'm sorry I have...

These are the results: #rubber bands Time to reach end of tub (s) 1 Did not reach 2 8.5 s 3 4.8 s 4 4.2 s 5 3.5 s 6...

I am doing a rubber band powered boat for a project, but I'm not too sure as to what physics theory I can incorporate into it. We made a small wood board boat and powered in using rubber bands and tested to see how long it took to reach the end of the bath tub. Every time we added one more...
