Before building the design that is best fit for the presentation, there was many models that had “failed”. To start off with, the first design to successfully float with 50 pennies for 20 seconds was Tyler’s design that was built with two pop cans and two sheets of aluminum paper (one is used to wrap the cans while the other is used to make a “cup” to hold the pennies). However, when the group weighed this in class, it was around 31 grams, which is 4.5 grams overweight (the requirement is 26.5 grams). Seeing this, the group cut the top of both cans off, this decreased the weight and allowed the boat to meet standards. Sadly, since the opening was big, small amounts of water leaked in while tested, this made the group reconsider using this design in the final presentation. Following Tyler’s design, Jalen created a design that had one pop can and aluminum foil wrapped around it, however, when Jalen tested this at home, it did not work. During this time, Claire made a design to Tyler’s. Instead of using aluminum foil to wrap around the two cans, Claire poked two holes through both cans and used a metal strip (a strip of aluminum cut from a pop can) and connected the two cans. Knowing that it will be overweight, Claire cut both tops off. …show more content…
Starting off with Tyler’s design, the surface area of this boat is bigger, this allows the pressure from the pennies to spread out. Claire’s design is similar to Tyler’s, its advantage over the previous design is that it is lighter, however, it is also unbalanced making the boat float in an awkward angle. Lastly, there is the group design, which has the advantage of disabling the water to cover its insides but a disadvantage of a higher number in the depth of the displaced area. To prove this, the group should test all three boats out during the presentation, this would help communicate the designs on each
Sketch the side view of the penny just before the liquid spills over. (I suck at sketching so I'm doing a written description). First liquid (water) - There were 41 drops of the water. I saw Lincoln large than before I started the activity. Second liquid - There were 27 drops of the stroke alcohol.
Where there an issues to overcome during the design process? (How was the overall result reached?)
To begin, did you know tin foil can float with pennies? Rapping tin foil like a boat and putting pennies in the boat. I can see how strong tin foil is and what brand is the best. Buoyancy the ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid.
Our boat is in a square shape so that the pennies can equally balance in each corner and the center. As seen on page 14 the material that makes up the boat are popsticle sticks because they seem to be stronger. If they’re stronger they will be able to hold more pennies. The popsticles have a length of 11 cm, we decided to have this size because we couldn’t add another roll of popsticle sticks since we were going to exceed our budget which was $1, 500.00 (page 12). If we include the propeller, the length of the boat would be 19 cm (page 9), due to the paper clip and wooden stick being added between the straw as seen on page 18. Me and my partner chose this deisgn because we wanted to create an innovative propeller, so we used straws, paper clips,
versus when we had foil covering the chamber, and when we tested foil versus regular light. This goes against our hypothesis where supposedly isopods liked the darker environments more. But, there are many factors in the experiment that could have affected the results. For example, the isopods seemed to have always found a way to flip upside down a bunch, which affected their ability to move. One way we could improve our results is by leaving the isopods in the choice chamber for a longer period of time. This would allow them to get used to their environment
This purpose of this experiment is to calculate the thickness of a sheet of aluminum foil. This experiment is necessary because the human eye cannot accurately measure the small thickness of aluminum foil with only a ruler. However, to understand the procedure one needs to understand conversion, density, and volume. Conversion is when one converts one unit to another unit using a conversion factor(e.g. 2.54cm/in). Density is how much mass there is in a certain volume(density=mass/volume) and it stays constant in a substances and mixtures that have the same composition. Volume is the amount of space that an object occupies. The experiment will consist of weighing of aluminum foil, measuring the length and width, then converting these values
The question is has the creation of the Department of Homeland Security diminished the capacity of a terrorist group to commit a large-scale attack on U.S. soil? I would say no and yes do to the different aspects of how the attack is stopped. Islamist-inspired terror plots against the United States have been foiled, but with the plots lacking international ties gave raise of homegrown terror plots with the terrorists being American citizens or even visitors to the U.S. So a large-scale attack would not so much come from an outside source but more of an insider threat. But with up rise on technology and polices we can foil the plans before they take place.
Going along with an expanded life span, Galadriel also had to deal with grief for a long and probably distressingly painful amount of time. Throughout her prolonged life she dealt with whatever came her way in a stern yet passive way, rarely actually taking action from what Tolkien shows us. However, the movie adaptations do give her more of an active life. Lúthien in this regard is almost a foil to Galadriel because she was all about action. When her true love was being held captive by Sauron she sprang into action saving him from immeasurable pain and suffering. From there if Beren went somewhere she went too, never backing away from a fight. She truly was an elf maiden of action, even at one-point begging Mandos for the life of Beren, Lúthien cared more for personal relationships that gaining wisdom. It is uncertain whether Galadriel would have attempted these same actions or rather just accept her faith. Nether option is wrong or right, just different sides to the same coin.
This paper analyzes the Whitbread World Sailboat Race case scenario presented in chapter 9 in the Gray and Larson text, Project Management: the Managerial Process. The Whitbread World Sailboat Race is a nine month round the world race. Bjorn Ericksen has been chosen by his country to head up the project of getting a boat and a team ready for the race. The objectives of the project are to design, build and test a new vessel and select and train a crew capable of winning the race. The objectives must be completed within 45 weeks, the start of the race, and with a planned budget of $3.2 million.
not float like a balloon or sink below the line and should be formed from the top and not the bottom.
“Opposites attract.” This is a very cliché quote used by physicists and other scientific personnel, but it rings true in many different ways. In literature, the correct term for a character that sets off or enhances another character by contrast is called a “foil.” Pairs of characters that are foils to each other have very opposing views and personalities, but their presence with each other illustrates the qualities in a better light. The book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is a fictional novel which includes a main character named Okonkwo. Okonkwo has some very distinguishing features about him, but the fact that he has a foil in the novel
5. Fold down both wings parallel to the middle crease and about 1 inch away from it. Make sure both wings are even. * I just did a simple over hand throw with every paper airplane and tried to use the same power in every throw.
iii. He called it the Solar Sailor, which has an electric motor they can power to drive the propeller properly, meaning the boat will be more efficient and easy to move and back up without stalling them.
Boats come in many different shapes and sizes. Though they can be fun toys, there is a lot that to consider when diving into the physics behind it. There many factors that need to be taken into consideration when building a boat, a few of the important ones are weight, rudders, the position of a rudder and the position in which a motor is placed. Each of these factors are what either make or break a boat.
The following paper analyzes the Whitbread World Sailboat Race case scenario presented at the end of chapter 9 in the Gray and Larson text, Project Management: the Managerial Process. The project encompasses two main objectives; one, design, build and test a new vessel, and two, select and train a crew capable of winning the race. Both objectives must be completed within 45 weeks, the start of the race, and with a planned budget of $3.2 million.
