How does the height from which an object is dropped affect the depth of penetration of a pile driver into the sand? In this experiment, I am going to work out whether there is any relationship between the depths of the penetration of a pile driver and the height from the object. PREDICTION: * I predict that if the height from an object increased, the depth penetration of a pile driver into the sand increased. I predict this because when the object dropped down, the pile driver will gain gravitational potential energy from the object. The potential energy of the object is equal mass times gravitational field strength times height, as the mass and the gravitational field strength are the same, so the gravitational potential energy depends on the height, as it increased, the gravitation potential energy increases. As the gravitation potential energy transfers to the platform, it makes the pile driver move into...
