    Calculating the energy loss due to sound emission on collision

    Hah, that's true :)

    Calculating the energy loss due to sound emission on collision

    That would mean I am to scrap the idea of air resistance as well, which would pretty much leave me without a topic. I will continue looking for that formula then.

    Calculating the energy loss due to sound emission on collision

    That is the point of my investigation. What I am doing, is trying to account for all the possible energy losses by measuring and calculating them. I have calculated losses to friction, losses in form of heat loss due to a forced inelastic collision (temperature change of deforming Blu-Tack...

    Calculating the energy loss due to sound emission on collision

    Homework Statement I am writing my Extended Essay for IB, where I look at the possibility of obtaining accurate results in open system of a school, by accounting for all energy losses that occur during the investigation. Before conducting my experiments (which included an air track with two...
