Paper Airplane Lab By: Isabella Catanzaro Question: How does the type of material used to make the airplane affect the average distance averaged? Background Research: The weight of printer paper is 1.8 grams per sheet. Cardstock weighs in at 199.6 grams per sheet. While construction paper weighs the total of 68.9 grams. Three important characteristics that contribute to making a good plane is the weight of the material, the stiffness of the material, and the texture of the material. Having curved wings also improves air dynamics since having them curved make the air go over the wings faster, resulting in an upward motion. Hypothesis: As the weight of the paper increases then the average distance traveled will increase as well. Procedure: 1.Gather all materials (cardstock, printer paper, construction paper, tape, and meter sticks) 2.Create the Bulldog Dart following the directions from …show more content…
The hypothesis was, as the weight of the paper used increases, then the average distance traveled will increase as well. Following the hypothesis the cardstock airplane should have gone farther than the other two. The reasoning being that the cardstock weighed more than the other two. The cardstock weighed 199.6 grams, the construction paper weighed 68.9 grams, and the printer paper weighed 1.8 grams. As stated the independent variables were kinds of paper and the paper types were cardstock, printer paper, and construction paper. What was being measured, also known as the dependent variable, was the average distance traveled in meters. The control group used was the printer paper. The constants were same type of airplane used ( Bulldog Dart ), same person throwing it, same amount of trials for each type of paper ( 3 ), same throwing area, and same start
Ever since I was little I was amazed at the ability for a machine to fly. I have always wanted to explore ideas of flight and be able to actually fly. I think I may have found my childhood fantasy in the world of aeronautical engineering. The object of my paper is to give me more insight on my future career as an aeronautical engineer. This paper was also to give me ideas of the physics of flight and be to apply those physics of flight to compete in a high school competition.

In the project for science fair, we will be dropping whirligigs to test, which have the most aerodynamic structure. We will be recording the weight of the paper clips we put onto the whirligig. We will use the app that tracts how the whirligig falls. Which is called “Vernier Video Physics”. Then when we have enough data we will try to make the perfect paper airplane. To get the perfect paper airplane we must have the correct weight, the correct thrust, and the correct aerodynamics of the whirligig, this is why our project mostly consists of aerodynamics.
The dependent variable that will be measured is the height at which the ball bounces back. The control variables that will need to be kept constant if the results are to be as accurate as possible are. 1. What is the difference between a. and a. The weight of the ball; we will use the same ball throughout the experiment to ensure that the results are as accurate as possible.

Advanced paper machines are dependent upon a machine designed in 1798 by Louis Robert. After him Fourdrinier improved an alternate paper machines which were more intricate in pattern and designing. Since its innovation, paper machine has experienced varied transformations. Typically, the majority of the paper machines embodies four areas. In a few machines these segments are combined into one machine and in some they are differentiated out into a couple of littler machines. One of the significant challenge connected with paper machines is their simple rusting on account of the high moistness and hotness of paper making. Further, the paper mash radiates certain risky rancid discharges.
How does the material of a ball affect the bounce height/vertical motion of that ball?
Ever wonder if the weight of a Frisbee affects how far you can throw it? I have. This experiment is designed to figure out if a heavier Frisbee goes farther or closer than a lighter Frisbee.
The tennis ball is the constant variable factor (the variable that is kept the same, to make the investigation valid). The ball will dropped from increasing heights (cm-25, 50, 75,100,125,150,175,200) and the bounce of the ball will be measured. A sample size of 3 results will be taken from each height the ball is dropped. The same investigation will then be repeated, but one of the independent variables will be changed.
I will give two stories both only related because both are about plane. Both of these stories have a compelling lesson for understanding that failure is not a reason to give up but a driving force to fuel creativity and continue to pursue your goals in life and why I want to purse a master’s Degree at Point Loma Nazarene University. When building a paper plane you take a sheet of paper and fold it a couple of times until you have something that resembles an airplane. A paper airplane is quick you fold it, you try it, and ultimately you crash. However, crashing fuels creativity because the cost for failure is low, but that 's the beauty of paper planes, lots of quick, cheap failures are a desirable thing we don 't learn much when it succeeds;

Aircrafts are amazing traveling machines that travel through the atmosphere and throughout the years have facilitated transportations making them quicker. These types of traveling machines are designed to be faster than any other type of transportation; therefore, each part of the machine has a specific function either for safety or the passengers’ comfort.
For my science fair project, I have decided to answer the following question: “How heavy is a bubble?” I chose this project because it deals with physics, a type of science that I enjoy, and because I love making bubbles. When doing this project, I have to find how the size of a bubble relates to how fast it falls. In order to do this project, I must make something to create the bubbles, then record how long it takes each one to fall. The rest of this paper will show the research I have put into my science fair project. It will also explain how I will eventually answer my main question: “How heavy is a bubble?”
Brightness of paper is important to determine and understand because the brightness of paper will directly affect the print quality and color of a job. Brightness is different from “whiteness” of paper in that a “bright” paper can be blue, red, green, or any other color since the test measures the amount of diffused light reflected from the surface, as opposed to the amount of the visible spectrum reflected. Brightness of paper, as defined in Tappi T452, is determined by the percentage reflectance of blue light measured at 457nm by comparing the sample to an ideal white standard (Goyal,2000). There are 2 methods used to test the brightness of paper. Tappi T452 describes a method in which the sample is illuminated at a 45o angle and measured through a blue (457nm) filter. However this method is prone to inconsistency as the instrument is sensitive to the surface of the paper, and therefore requires consistent grain direction orientation for every sample. The ISO brightness tester uses diffused light to illuminate a large area of the sample which results in a measurement that is almost completely independent of the surface of the paper (Wilson,1998). Paper brightness is enhanced using optical brighteners and fluorescent dyes because they emit blue visible light when exposed to ultraviolet light in its surrounding illumination (Wilson,1998). However, optical brighteners are less effective on papers with high lignin content, therefore fluorescent dyes are preferred. Bleached paper fibers will result in a paper with lower opacity which requires the addition of fillers and pigments (Wilson,1998).
In addition to the technical machines, it is necessary to have consumable goods such as ink, toner, and copy paper for printing. Currently, SG has a contract with an electronic company located in Gainesville named B&B, and SG pays them $0.008/ page from the printing fund for proving the necessary toners and printers for current ten printing stations under Student Government [2]. However, SG provides the copy papers, but it is inexpensive. Fifty packets of standard size copy papers (8 ½...
