Deceleration of air-moved cork Tim Hoffmann Physics 11th IB 04/08/03 11: Lab-group: Robin Bostrom, Tim Hoffmann, Hella Zoet 111: Theory: Due to the fact that our surface is virtually friction-free, we expected our cork (very light) to decelerate once fast a certain distance from the hair-dryer (our supplier of the air to push the cork) Facts: a.) Static vs. Dynamic friction will mean the first stage or two will show acceleration rather than deceleration. b.) Cork will travel quickly so observations will need to be taken over larger distances than previously thought over our initial surface (water.) IV. Planning A: A.) By pushing a light cork over a virtually friction-free surface, we will try to find the deceleration when the cork's traveling speed starts to slow. (The first stages will be given less importance.) B.) Once the initial decelerating has started, we expected the deceleration to increase exponentially. The first step will probably show acceleration, but from that...
