The Penny Game Coursework! Introduction. Within this investigation we are going to look at variables that affect how far a certain amount of mass travels when sprung across a smooth surface by an elastic band. First of all we will do a trial experiment to see which is the best variable to look at. These variables are; Slope, Pull back, Mass, Type of surface, Space between pins and Thickness of elastic bands. * Slope- to look at the variable slope we tried different gradients but it was to keep it at the same angle all the time. * Pull back- this is a good variable because it gives a wide variety and range of results. * Type of surface- is a very hard variable to look at because you can't range the types of surface in a numerical way so it is hard to analyse my results. * The space between pins with this variable it...
