Physics Coursework Aim: I aim to find a link in the relationship between the amount of potential energy in an elastic band that is transformed into kinetic energy (when the band is fired) and the distance the band flies when fired. Prediction I think that the higher the potential energy of the elastic band, the higher the kinetic energy will be meaning that the band will fly further and the work done will be higher. I also think that as I pull the elastic band further back (thus increasing the work done and the potential energy) and fire it, it will have a longer braking distance because it will have a higher velocity. Method 1. Measure the distance each band stretches when it is pulled with each amount of force. You need to use forces from 1N to 6N with increments of 1N. Measure the length of each band when stretched in cm....
