EXPERIMENTAL ARCHITECTURE HYPOTHESIS If the mass of the object increases then the distance it travels after a collision will increase due to higher momentum. SETUP Use a toy car as the base. Tape 1 2 and 3 batteries to the car as varying masses. Launch from a fixed spring point. QUANTITATIVE METRICS TRIAL 1 1 Battery Distance $cm$. TRIAL 2 2 Batteries Distance $cm$. TRIAL 3 3 Batteries Distance $cm$. QUALITATIVE LOG Observe the sound of the impact. Describe the stability of the cars movement. Note any damage to the target object. ANALYTICAL SYNTHESIS 1 Compare the distances recorded in your table. 2 How does adding mass change the force of the car? 3 Identify the independent variable in this test. 4 Predict the distance if we used 5 batteries.
