Science Course work Y11 GCSE Planning I am going to drop a piece of plasticine imitating a meteorite from certain heights to see whether there is a relation between gravitational potential energy, time, speed/velocity, acceleration, weight with crater depth and crater widths. I will see whether there is a relation between the factors above by performing a simple experiment. I will use the following apparatus: * Clamp stand * 2x 1m rulers * bucket * sand * chunk of plasticine * stopwatch * myself I will now annotate how I will construct the apparatus: Then I will explain my predictions and formulas that I may use during this experiment: Method First of all I will measure the weight of the plasticine then I will drop a piece of plasticine from a certain height, record the time it takes to land into the bucket then I will take out the plasticine from the crater it will make and measure the impact depth and impact diameter I...
