different size rubber bands each with their own rate of stretch when weight is added. By creating a makeshift basket, the group was able to connect a rubber band to a ring stand. After two washers were added, the group would calculate how much the washers would affect the rate of stretch of each rubber band. Multiple washers were added until the maximum amount of weights were in the basket. The shorter rubber band took more weight in order to stretch the rubber band, however the larger rubber band would not
a change in motion is a rubber band powered vehicle. In order for this vehicle to successfully work, the mass of the car must be light, but heavy enough to hold the one pound load of baking soda. My car’s mass was a total of approximately 0.4 kilograms or about 400 grams. With a lighter mass, more unbalanced forces can act on the car, moving it forward. The unbalanced forces that act on this car are the tension in the rubber band and the spoiler. Tension in the rubber band is the main motor for powering
There are many factors to why a rubber band airplane flies like lift, gravity, thrust, stability, angle of attack, and air drag, but let me start at the beginning The Wright brothers were the first to produce a manned, heavier-than-air machine that left the ground by itself, moved forward, but didn't decrease speed, and landed on a higher point than where it started. Their airplane flew in 1903, but was only in the air for 12 seconds, as months went by they improved the flight time to 38 minutes
of a kind; no two tie dyes are alike. I have come to be very fond of tie-dye, using it as a means of support, owning my own small tie dye business for years. To design a tie-dye you will make several handmade folds that are secured by string or rubber bands, and then saturated in dye for different periods of time to create different shades of colors. The different folds and tightness’s of the folds create different effects on the fabric there for creating the name tie-dye. This technique is very simple
Catapult Investigations Planning: Aim - This project involves testing a catapult by using a rubber band to catapult a mass using various forces. Our aim is to choose and investigate variables of our choice and its effects using a simple catapult. Preliminary method - 1. Using a tripod, a rubber band and a long sheet of paper set a catapult. 2. Test it and observe which variables you will keep constant and which you will change. 3. Record the preliminary results into a table
became walking and walking became just trying to keep myself from stopping and falling asleep right there on the track, with sixth graders --big, scary, and sometimes mean sixth graders. Finally I got to the starting point and collect my first rubber band. This shows that I had done one lap, one hot, tiring, long lap. Again and again, I went around the track. I was sta...
The Effect of Applying Weight to an Elastic Band and How it Affects the Length it Stretches To Aim In this coursework I will be investigating the effect of applying weight to an elastic band and how much this affects the length it stretches to. This will also involve the use of Hooke’s Law and the Simple Harmonic Motion. I will do in-depth research on Hooke’s Law and how the force applied affects the change in length of a material. The apparatus I will be using is listed below: 1
money’s worth and if paying that extra dollar is worth the name brand I think that the most expensive paper towel will be the strongest based on an ice cube suspended over a paper towel over a bowl held by a rubber band. The materials that I used in this experiment were six different bands of paper towels; Scott, Giant Eagles “Clean and Tuff”, So- Dri, Brawny, Viva, and Bounty. I also used twelve 88.7 milliliter dixie cups, 50 milliliters of red colored water and a freezer holding the temperature
Dreadlocks and Individualism Imagine having the flexibility of wearing your hair loose and flowing. . .maybe pulled back in a simple rubber band, or allowing your long locks to swing expressively in front of your face. It's a natural feeling and style, that epitomizes your love for individualism, they are your Dreadlocks. The art of dreadlocks can be traced back to the Ancient Caribbean islands such as Jamaica where they were fine tuned to perfection by Rastafarians. Here at Syracuse University
The origin of makeup dates back to 3100 BC, throughout the first egyptian dynasty. Many Egyptians used unguent, rouge, henna, eyeshadow eyebrow eyelash enhancements, and blue and liquid gold. Unguent is a soft grease that was used as an ointment to get rid of wrinkles. Rouge which is a red colored talc-based powder used to give lips and cheeks a pink or red tint, to give nails a red tint a dye called henna was used. Eyeshadow was applied to both top and bottoms eyelids, the main color used was green
past few years, and have improved the lives of many children who didn’t have the means to communicate before. DynaVox System Software, or DSS, is designed to be something that is easy to use, no matter what disability you have. The DynaVox has a rubber edge with a 12 inch color touch screen. On the touch screen and as part of the system, you are able to have seventy-seven buttons that have different fonts and graphics. You press a button and it says to whomever you are talking to, what you want
produced from coal, and charcoal is produced from wood. Amorphous carbon is the most reactive form of carbon. Because amorphous carbon burns easily in air, it is used as a combustion fuel. The most important uses for amorphous carbon are as a filler for rubber and as a black pigment in paint (WWW 2). There are two kinds of carbon compounds. The first is inorganic. Inorganic compounds are binary compounds of carbon with metals or metal carbides. They have properties ranging from reactive and salt like;
Batik Elaborately decorated fabrics and patterns can be seen almost everywhere in the world today. Batiking is a type of decorated fabric, which usually depicts motifs of flowers, birds, butterflies and other natural objects, or simple geometric forms. These designs are rich in symbolic heritage and variety; to date there are over three thousand recorded batik patterns. To perform the art of batiking, one must know a little about its origin, the necessary materials, and the method of creating a batik
There are many forms of artificial contraception. I am going to discuss some of those forms and the Church’s opinion. Condoms, or rubbers, are shaped like a balloon and are made of a special kind of rubber. Condoms prevent sperm from reaching the cervix. They are placed over the male’s erect penis before intercourse. They are 80-90% effective. No prescription is needed to use them. They protect against STD’s. They are more protective in preventing AIDS, then preventing pregnancy. They are not fully
conditions of your environment. Friction is the resistance to motion between two objects in contact with each other. When the resistance related to the tires on the car against the road, it is called traction. The traction points on your car are where the rubber on your tire touches the road’s surface. There are three main traction purposes: putting your vehicle in motion, stopping your vehicle, and changing the direction of your vehicle. The amount of friction that is made is limited even when all the important
thickness of the paddle or any other weapon used, the amount of times the student may be struck by the weapon, and other minor details about other types of physical punishment. The list of weapons that were acceptable for teachers to use include long: rubber hoses, leather straps and belts, sticks, rods, straight pins, hard plastic baseball bats, and arrows. If at the time a teacher did not have his/her weapon, they would often resort to punching, kicking, slapping and shaking as ways to "get children's
car came screeching to a halt as the driver slammed on his brakes. The car struck my torso and threw me onto the damp grass, away from oncoming traffic. I apparently was briefly knocked unconciousious, and distinctly remember the foul smell of rubber burning as I opened my eyes to see the frantic worried look on the drivers face. At the time it seemed as if he was more relieved than I was that I was able to walk away from the scene with just a pounding headache and a few scratches. It seems
at the intricate detailing of the blood-sucker's razor-like teeth, bulging eyes and a pointed nose and ears. "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" used a somewhat new technique of a body suit that the actor wore along with a mask made of latex rubber and foam. Using cooking oil or butter spread on the body and mask gave an enhancement of sliminess added to the monster image. A fairly recent film using heavy make-up effects is "An American Werewolf in London" done by the master make-up artist
tested in Vytex Corporation labs in Rochester Minnesota. The team at Vytex wanted to create a new product designed to be a new standardized source of material for natural rubber products that used a chemical agent to reduce natural rubber allergenic properties. The product that was created was Vytex, this product is natural rubber but treated with aluminum hydroxide. Aluminum hydroxide is a strong base that has a protein binding agent. The end product of this process is Vytex, it has very similar properties
of the movie next door. This is especially jarring when the other movie involves racing cars or a karate war and you are trying to enjoy a quiet love story. And whether the theater is old or new, it will have floors that seem to be coated with rubber cement. By the end of a movie, shoes almost have to be pried off the floor because they have become sealed to a deadly compound of spilled soda, hardening bubble gum, and crushed Ju-Jubes.
