I will then release the ball from different points in the tube and measure the distance over which the ball bearing has travelled. I will measure this distance, in millimetres, from the point directly below the bottom end of the tube to the front of the indentation made by the ball in the sand. I will use the equipment shown over the page. In my preliminary investigation I first decided to determine the height at which to place the tube. I set the tube at an angle of approximately 30º and took two measurements with a tube length of 10cm and 90cm...
